would explain reasons for declaring independence. On July 2,1776, the Congress voted that america was free. Two days later, on July 4,they finally approved the Declaration of Independence.
The Declaration of Independence was written by Thomas Jefferson, later becoming the third president of the United States.
Written in the Declaration of Independence, the famous phrase, "All men are created equal", created
a lot of confusion and many different problems. That phrase stated that all men (including slaves), were created equal. Slaves wanted to have the same rights as white people and of course, this people were not agreeing with what the slaves were believing. This causes a huge controversy Also, woman wanted to start voting and have the same rights as men.
In this document were a lot of things such as why they should be independent and how they would manage to accomplished it. Another thing that appeared was many grievances about the King. There were a lot of complains. The good thing was that they became independent and this inspired a lot
of younger generations that they really could full fill their goals. Everything seemed to be going
the way they planned, but England would not accept this declaration and so war begins.
