Question

What did Thomas Jefferson use to write the declaration of independence

Answer 1

Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence using a quill pen and ink on parchment. At that time, quill pens, made from bird feathers, were the standard writing instruments, and the ink was typically made from a mix of water, soot or other pigments, and other natural materials. Jefferson penned the document in June 1776, and it was adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776.
