The Declaration of Independence

Hey everyone, and welcome to this introduction video to the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration of Independence was a document written in June of 1776, adopted by the Continental Congress on July 2nd, reworded, ratified on July 4th, and signed that summer! Yes, this is why Americans celebrate July 4th as their “Independence Day.” The Declaration severed ties with the government of Great Britain, meaning the 13 Colonies were no longer under the rule of King George III of England, and they could make alliances with France in an effort to obtain assistance in protecting their statement of independence.
