A period may have accidentally been added to the Declaration of Independence

For many Americans, the first few lines of the Declaration of Independence are deeply familiar — particularly the opening of the second paragraph: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,... The document maintained by the National Archives, however, has the period added — possibly thanks to a copperplate of the Declaration that was produced in the early 1800s and may have been working off of an original that was already heavily faded.
