A Timeline History of the Declaration of Independence
From the Series Timeline Trackers: America's Beginnings
By the 1760s, most American colonists had become fed up with British rule. They were tired of the unfair taxes and not being able to create their own laws, and cries for revolution were ringing out across the land. As the revolution took hold, Thomas Jefferson drafted a document that formally declared the colonies’ independence.
The adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, marked an important turning point in US history. Over the next five years, the colonists would fight to make their independence a reality.
Explore the history of this important document. Track the events and turning points that led the colonies to declare their independence from Great Britain.
