SOME Brief History :

In 1775, the people in the thirteen American colonies commenced their struggle for independence from British rule under King George III. This conflict marked the beginning of the American Revolutionary War, a fight driven by the colonists' desire for self-governance and freedom from oppressive British policies. The momentum for independence culminated on July 2, 1776, when Congress secretly voted in favor of breaking away from Great Britain, setting the stage for a historic declaration.

Two days after the decisive vote, on July 4, 1776, the final wording of the Declaration of Independence was approved and the document was officially published, marking a pivotal moment in American history. The Declaration's first public reading occurred on July 8, 1776, allowing the colonists to hear the momentous news. The formal signing of the Declaration began on August 2, 1776, with delegates affixing their signatures, thereby solidifying their commitment to the cause of American independence.
