More About 1776
In 1776, many people wanted to be free. They did not want to be ruled by a king. They wrote the Declaration of Independence to say this. This was a big deal for America.
Today, we still think about what they did. We have rights and can make our own choices. This helps us live in a good place.
Every year, we celebrate on July 4th. We have parades, fireworks, and fun! It reminds us of the brave people from 1776.
