The colonists have spelled out their reasons for declaring independence from britain. essentially, the colonists are "breaking up" with great britain. imagine that you are the american colonists. in 5-7 sentences, re-write the declaration of independence as a modern-day break-up letter to the king. include at least 3 reasons from the declaration of independence.

The Independence of America was declared on July 4, 1776. "Unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America" is the name of the document which records this process. The document announced the decision of the thirteen British colonies that belonged to the United States to define themselves as thirteen newly independent states. John Adams, first vice president of the USA, was a very important figure in this process. The independence was discussed by a committee and the decision to approve the proposal was unanimous.

Exercise:

"Dear King, we say no more been a colony. We want to break free, leave the parent house. We´re sure the moment it's now, so please don´t make it more difficult.

Because when we are in you´re custody have no money to built our house.

Because you don´t let us calm, always arranging someone to look after us.

Because you set rules we don't agree with without even asking.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in general Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world declare our freedom. "

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
