The American Revolution on its 250th

The 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence offers Americans an opportunity not only to celebrate the birth of a nation, but to reflect upon the lived experiences that shaped its most famous words.

Adopted on July 4, 1776, the Declaration did not emerge in isolation. It distilled a decade of escalating tensions, particularly in New England, where colonial resistance to British authority provided both the language and emotional force behind many of the documents grievances.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

— The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
