Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the origin of the Keystone State appellation given to Pennsylvania. The author presents two conflicting theories: one, that the name originated from John Morton's vote in favor of the Declaration of Independence, and the other from the engraving of the state's initials on the keystone of a bridge in Washington, D.C. The author debunks the latter theory, providing historical evidence to support the claim that the name stems from Morton's vote, which gave Pennsylvania the deciding vote and confirmed the Declaration unanimously. This book is a fascinating exploration of a pivotal moment in American history, revealing the pivotal role Pennsylvania played in shaping the nation's destiny.
