97. THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE 
Every year on July 4, Americans gather together to set off fireworks and celebrate their national pride. Why is 
this date so special? To answer this question, we have to go back in time to 1775. In that year, the colonists in 
North America were tired of paying taxes to the King of England. They wanted to separate from England and 
start their own country. Leaders in the colonies got together and wrote down all of the reasons why they 
wanted independence from Britain. Their statement became famous inAmerican history. It was called the 
Declaration of Independence. A small team of men, including John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin 
Franklin, worked together to write the Declaration of Independence. They didn’t only say that they wanted 
independence. Instead, the writers of the Declaration made a careful and detailed argument. First, they 
explained that all people have certain rights. These include the right to live, to have freedom, and to find 
happiness. Then they showed how the King of England denied them those rights. According to their 
argument, any government that limited those rights was a poor government. And it had to be removed. 
The next summer, the final draft of the Declaration was ready. Important figures from all over the colonies 
signed their names to it to show support. The day the document was signed, July 4, 1776, became known as 
Independence Day. When the Declaration was signed, it gave the American colonists the strength they needed 
to win the war. They fought for seven more years. Finally, in 1783, they defeated the British and earned their 
independence. Every year since 1776, Americans have celebrated the feeling of national spirit on July 4.
