Celebrating independence day

    The Declaration of independence was written on July 4, 1776. That was exactly 238 years ago!
    Independence day, also known as the fourth of July, is an American holiday celebrating the day that Thomas Jefferson wrote the declaration of independence.
    Congress made the decision to declare the thirteen colonies of America separate from the British Empire on July 2. Two days later it was written, but some historians say that it was signed almost a month later, on August 2.
    The signatures on the bottom include the names of John Hancock, President of the Congress at the time. There are also the names of Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams.
    Here is the opening part of the declaration:

IN CONGRESS,  JULY 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

     After this declaration was signed, the United States of America became an independent country. And to the present day there are 37 more states, a total of fifty.

    This is the beginning of The Declaration of Independence...

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

    Then, the most famous sentence,

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.

   After that is a philosophy about how the government 'Harms natural rights'[1] and the main part, which is about the rights of America.

    The end is about how the country should be independent from the British Empire, and then a conclusion, which ends like this,

...And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
