The Declaration of Independence
by Michael Burgan
Review by Shanesa
On June 7, 1776, members, or delegates, from the thirteen American colonies gathered in Philadelphia. they met at the Pennsylvania state house, known as Independence Hall. These men formed the 2nd Continental Congress. They were rebelling against King George III and Britain. America was deciding whether to declare it's independence. As the years passed, things in Britain got worse. Thomas Jefferson was the main author of the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration was signed on July 4th, which we now know as Independence Day.
I recommend this book to anybody who wants to learn about the Declaration of Independence.
Independence day...How fun it is! I appreciate my independence thanks to Thomas Jefferson. -Akiera

Shanesa, I have always been interested in the founding of our country and the characters that played the major roles. I find Thomas Jefferson to be a fascinating man! Can you imagine how rebellious these men had to be? I'm not sure I would have had it in me; do you think you would have? <3, Mrs. Haas
