#lot of these are Hall and Rutledge haha

1776 moments/theories that I love:

-McKean holding onto Rodney as he stands up to say “yea”

-McKean would have shot Read if Rodney wasn’t in the picture.

-Thomson is conflicted about weather he’s in love with Washington or Hancock. But eventually he realizes he’s more in love with Hancock and that’s why he always looks at Hancock in affectionate ways.

-Rutledge staring at Hall throughout the film.

-When Hall comes in at night to tell Adams he’s figured things out, I personally believe that he was sleeping with Rutledge at that time.

-The Rutledge/Hewes relationship mirrors The Dickinson/Wilson relationship, because Dickinson never lets Wilson speak and interrupts him, and Rutledge never lets North Carolina/Hewes vote for themselves and basically votes FOR them and forces Hewes to say “nay”

-The reason Thomson is so prissy and acts annoyed most of the time is because Hancock probably turned him down or he’s too afraid to ask him out.

-Wilson is autistic and he doesn’t understand the concept of not seconding his delegates own motion.

-Hopkins secretly picking up a pint of Rum and motioning to Morris to not tell Hancock about it.

-Rutledge fell in love with Hall the second he laid eyes on him.

-Hopkins knew what was going on immediately and that’s why he interrupted Hall and Rutledge’s little moment after “your servant, Mr Rutledge”

-Franklin and Adams cuddled while in New Brunswick.

-After Franklin yells at Adams, Adams probably cries for a minute before running up to the bell tower.

-When Rodney is introducing Hall to Wilson, Dickinson is speaking to Rutledge in the background, probably convincing Rutledge to ask Hall out.

-Thomson wearing his hat while walking into independence hall 🫶🏻😭
