In 1776, the American colonies were united in their fight for liberty and independence.
George Washington led the army, and the Second Continental Congress met in Philadelphia.
On June 7, Richard Henry Lee proposed a resolution declaring the colonies free.
A committee, including Thomas Jefferson, drafted the Declaration of Independence.
Congress approved the resolution on July 2 and adopted the Declaration on July 4, officially creating the United States.
The Declaration of Independence laid the foundation for the U.S. Constitution and American democracy.
Many places, including towns and counties, are named in honor of the Declaration and its signers.

Slavery is inhumane and cannot be justified by religion or morality.
The time for debate is over; action and strong condemnation are needed.
The 4th of July, a celebration of freedom, is a cruel reminder of injustice for enslaved people.
American ideals of liberty and equality are hypocritical as long as slavery exists.
The U.S. is guilty of extreme cruelty and hypocrisy, surpassing even the worst abuses of other nations.
