Taken from the Bronze
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. Written primarily by Thomas Jefferson, the Declaration is a formal explanation of why Congress had voted on July 2 to declare independence from Great Britain, more than a year after the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War. The birthday of the United States of America, Independence Day is celebrated on July 4, the day the wording of the Declaration was approved by Congress.
The Declaration justified the independence of the United States by listing colonial grievances against King George III, and by asserting certain natural rights, including a right of revolution. Having served its original purpose in announcing independence, the text of the Declaration was initially ignored after the American Revolution. Its stature grew over the years, particularly the second sentence, a sweeping
statement of individual human rights:
“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, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” This sentence has been called “one of the best-known sentences in the English language” and “the most po- tent and consequential words in American history.”
I am looking forward to Speaking about my book "Boston Bronze and Stone Speak To US". The Talk entitled "Genesis Ingenious and Creativity in Boston Past and Present" at the Sheraton Boston Hotel Boston this July 3, 2014 at 12:00 PM to The Mensa Society of America. Over 1500 members will be there attending dozens of presentations further enlightening Mensa Society members.
