Yes, George Washington had the Declaration of Independence read to his army. On July 9, 1776, just days after its adoption, Washington ordered the document to be read aloud to his troops in New York City. This event was intended to inspire and unify the soldiers by informing them of the colonies' break from British rule and the principles of liberty and self-governance. The reading was a significant moment that emphasized the importance of the Declaration in the fight for independence.
