Cavalcade of America dramatizes the political struggle leading to the Declaration of Independence. The story moves through arguments over loyalty to Britain, the influence of pro-independence pamphlets and debate in the Continental Congress, then builds to the colony-by-colony vote, including Caesar Rodney’s arrival and Pennsylvania’s divided delegation, that clears the way for independence.
