Washington reads the Declaration of Independence to his men and the citizens of New York on July 9, invigorating the crowd to topple down a lead equestrian statue of the King in Bowling Green, melting it to make bullets.
Historical records indicate the statue depicted King George III in ancient Roman garb based on the Renaissance sculpture of the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius.
