History of July 4th

Video link: Declaration of Independence on the History Channel


Video introduction:

Through this video, speakers told that "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights".
It means that the United States is a free country. And people who live in the United States have the right to vote who they want.
Also, american can reflect their voice.
Since July 4th, 1776, the Continental Congress signed the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson wrote down, American seriously fought for the right with British Empire. All of them wanted independence.
