"We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal."
In 1776 the Continental Congress formed together to sign the Declaration of Independence; which stated that we would be free from England. On July fourth of that same year, starting with John Hancock, our founding fathers signed the most popular document in our nation’s history. It was the document written by Thomas Jefferson, and it stated that all men were to be created equal. Because of that document all the citizens that live in this country are free and have the right to lead a proud life. Those people who signed this document in 1776 did not know how lucky they were. They were the creators of this wonderful and powerful nation.
Today, we should look back at the history that is put behind this holiday. We should all be very happy to live in such a generous and enjoyable place. When we see our flag we should truly be proud to see it. That’s because if it were not for the days back in 1776 we would not have that flag to look at.
During the Revolutionary War we were determined to gain our independence and win the war. But, we had to face the most powerful country in the world to do so. But since we wanted it so badly, we ended up getting what we wanted. Our hearts and minds guided us to victory, and because of those powerful hearts and minds we live in a country that has freedom and a democracy government. And because of our determination of reaching our goal we had General George Washington leading us. And we had the minutemen fighting for us. So with them and our powerful hearts and minds we fought the toughest country in the world, ended up winning the war, declared our independence, and formed the best nation on the face of the earth.
We really need to look back at all of this. We need to put the fireworks and the BBQ’s away for just a second, and just take time to think about why we are celebrating our nation’s most popular and most important holiday.
Happy 231st Birthday America. Thanks for everything.
