Insight to the Declaration of Independence : 11/10/10

I feel it would be interesting to travel back in time to the writing of Declaration of Independence.  Not only would it be interesting to experience early America, but it would be a great way to gain insight about the founding fathers of our country.  When I think of the founding fathers, the thoughts of very smart, influential people come into my mind.  However, by traveling back in time, I feel we would attain a much different view of America's founding fathers.  To see their everyday faults and to learn their actual feelings on a first-person basis would be fascinating.  While we cannot travel back in time, we can only imagine our founding fathers though the historical texts.
