Title Details
Description
By the summer of 1776, the American Patriots had taken control over all the 13 colonies, and they were now effectively individual states establishing their own state constitutions that existed outside of British rule. On June 11, 1776 a committee met with the purpose of drafting a resolution to declare independence of Great Britain. The committee elected Thomas Jefferson of Virginia to write the declaration. It was presented before the Second Continental Congress and on July 4, 1776, at the Pennsylvania State House the United States Declaration of Independence was ratified.
