The Declaration Of Independence & Thomas Jefferson



              The Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. This document stated that America had thirteen colonies and that these colonies were independent states. This was written after the American Revolution. John Adams was a main figure in getting the Declaration of Independence ratified. He pushed independence from Britain, for the thirteen colonies. John Adams recruited Thomas Jefferson to write the Declaration. Thomas Jefferson was the first person to write a draft of this document. On July 2, 1776 the Continental Congress officially declared independence from Britain. The Declaration of Independence helped America gain their independence.
               I cannot believe the colonists declared independence from Britain! I awoke this morning to people shouting "We Are Free" in the streets. Apparently, Thomas Jefferson wrote The Declaration Of Independence, the document that gave american colonists freedom from Britain. Britain gave the colonists everything they needed, food, protection, shelter, and so much more! How can the colonists do this? I don't know what will happen to me and my family, will we move or executed or worse? No matter what happens, I will always believe that this is the worst mistake the colonists have ever made!
