The Declaration of independence was a statement that was given purposes and a statement that would make many changes to give others their independence that they need. It was clear to many that what had been occurring for a long time was wrong and it was not going to keep being allowed as July 4,1976. The American Colonies needed the freedom and independence that Great Britain had and it was not write for the British to have control of it.

They can protect us from the French and Natives on this new world. We have fought against these people once, and our troops were not strong enough to hold the French and Natives. The only way we could beat them was with english troops from our homeland. We would have been taken over and could even have died but with Great Britain’s help, we won the war.
