The declaration of Independence of the United States

The United States Declaration of Independence is a statement adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, which announced that the thirteen American colonies then at war with Great Britain were now independent states, and thus no longer a part of the British Empire. 


some facts: 

  • But July 4, 1776 wasn't the day that the Continental Congress decided to declare independence (they did that on July 2, 1776).
  • For the first 15 or 20 years after the Declaration was written, people didn’t celebrate it much on any date.
  • By the 1790s, a time of bitter partisan conflicts, the Declaration had become controversial. One party, the Democratic-Republicans, admired Jefferson and the Declaration. But the other party, the Federalists, thought the Declaration was too French and too anti-British, which went against their current policies.
  • Celebrations of the Fourth of July became more common as the years went on and in 1870, almost a hundred years after the Declaration was written
  • the date on which the Declaration was delivered to Great Britain was on  November 1776
