The Story of the Declaration of Independence
School & Library Binding
(Childrens Pr (1968-07-01) Jan. 1, 1656)
When the Declaration of Independence was read aloud, the crowds cheered and set off gunpowder explosions. They were happy because the British king could no longer tell them how to live. When the Pilgrims came to this strange new land they brought with them the ideas of freedom, equality, hard work and dedication. Just as they had to work to clear the fields to plant food, the "fathers of our country" had to work to convince King George that the colonies had a right to be free. This book is the exciting story of how America became the land where everyone was free and equal.
