The Declaration of Independence

In 1776, the American colonies sought independence from British rule due to oppressive taxes and lack of representation. Key events like the Stamp Act, Townsend Acts, Boston Massacre, and Boston Tea Party fueled discontent. The colonies united, except Georgia, to draft the Declaration of Independence, primarily authored by Thomas Jefferson. The document outlined grievances against King George III and declared the colonies as free states. It was finalized on July 4, 1776, marking the birth of a new nation.
