The purpose of the Declaration of Independence was to state that the colonies in America wanted to free from Great Britain.  It said that all men are created equal and they are all entitled to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”  On July 4, 1776, bells rang out to celebrate the day the Declaration of Independence was accepted and our country was officially born.  Now on every 4th of July, we celebrate America's freedom!
