|              |   | need to catch a Metro train by   |   |                  |
|              |   | 6:30 p.m. The Mall gets very     |   |                  |

| Mr. Moore    |   | It depends on the trains. It can |   |                  |
|              |   | take from 15 minutes to 45       |   |                  |

| Mrs. Moore   |   | Good question, Lu. July 4^th^ is |   |                  |
|              |   | also called Independence Day.    |   |                  |
|              |   | Americans celebrate their        |   |                  |
|              |   | country's independence from      |   |                  |
|              |   | England on July 4^th^.           |   |                  |
+--------------+---+----------------------------------+---+------------------+
| Lu           |   | Independence? What do you mean?  |   |                  |
+--------------+---+----------------------------------+---+------------------+
| Mrs. Moore   |   | Before 1781, European countries  |   |                  |
|              |   | owned a lot of America. European |   |                  |
|              |   | people moved here. They were     |   |                  |
|              |   | colonists. England owned most of |   |                  |
|              |   | the eastern part of the country. |   |                  |
|              |   | There were 13 English colonies.  |   |                  |
|              |   | After the Revolutionary War, the |   |                  |
|              |   | colonies became the first        |   |                  |
|              |   | American states.                 |   |                  |
+--------------+---+----------------------------------+---+------------------+
| Mr. Moore    |   | The colonists didn't like the    |   |                  |
|              |   | English government. They paid    |   |                  |
|              |   | taxes to England. However, they  |   |                  |
|              |   | could not make big decisions     |   |                  |
|              |   | about their colonies. The        |   |                  |
|              |   | English government made all of   |   |                  |
|              |   | the decisions. The colonists     |   |                  |
|              |   | wanted their own country. They   |   |                  |
|              |   | decided to leave England.        |   |                  |

| Shannon      |   | Representatives from all of the  |   |                  |

|              |   | 1776. They were the Continental  |   |                  |
|              |   | Congress. They talked for a long |   |                  |
|              |   | time. Finally, the               |   |                  |
|              |   | representatives wrote an         |   |                  |
|              |   | important document. It was the   |   |                  |
|              |   | Declaration of Independence from |   |                  |
|              |   | England. The Continental         |   |                  |
|              |   | Congress adopted the Declaration |   |                  |
|              |   | of Independence on July 4, 1776. |   |                  |
|              |   | So, we call July 4^th^           |   |                  |

| Lloyd        |   | Oh, no! The English king sent a  |   |                  |
|              |   | big army to America. The         |   |                  |
|              |   | colonists fought the English     |   |                  |
|              |   | army. The war was called the     |   |                  |
|              |   | Revolutionary War. It lasted for |   |                  |
|              |   | 5 years. Finally, the colonists  |   |                  |
|              |   | won the war. They were free from |   |                  |
|              |   | English rule. They created a new |   |                  |

| Mr. Moore    |   | Here is a strange fact. Both     |   |                  |

| Mr. Moore    |   | Here Ping, Lu. I printed this    |   |                  |

|              |   | tonight. Millions more will      |   |                  |
|              |   | watch the show on television. It |   |                  |

|              |   | get to see some of the most      |   |                  |

| Lloyd        |   | We'll see an amazing fireworks   |   |                  |
|              |   | display, too. The fireworks are  |   |                  |
|              |   | great, but they are really loud. |   |                  |
+--------------+---+----------------------------------+---+------------------+
| Lu           |   | How loud are the fireworks?      |   |                  |
+--------------+---+----------------------------------+---+------------------+
| Lloyd        |   | You can't talk during fireworks  |   |                  |
|              |   | because you can't hear each      |   |                  |
|              |   | other. You have to yell, and     |   |                  |
|              |   | that bothers other people.       |   |                  |

| ## America   | During the two hundred fifty years following          |
| n Revolution | Christopher Columbus' discovery of America in 1492,   |
|              | many groups of people established colonies in the     |
|              | "New World." These groups were from a variety of      |
|              | European countries including Spain, England, France   |
|              | and Holland. Many of these colonists fled religious   |
|              | persecution in their home countries.                  |
|              |                                                       |
|              | The colonies set up their own governments, which took |
|              | on a variety of forms. Treaties were signed between   |
|              | the colonists and Native Americans but several        |
|              | violent conflicts broke out between the parties. Many |
|              | of the colonies fell under English rule as England    |
|              | won various wars in Europe and expanded its empire    |
|              | worldwide.                                            |
|              |                                                       |
|              | In the 1760s and 1770s, the English Parliament (later |
|              | called the British Parliament) passed a number of     |
|              | objectionable acts applied to the colonies, including |
|              | prohibiting them from printing their own currency,    |
|              | prohibiting self-rule, enacting various taxes, and    |
|              | requiring the colonists to provide food and housing   |
|              | to British troops.                                    |
|              |                                                       |
|              | In 1774 the first Continental Congress met in         |
|              | Philadelphia with 56 delegates representing 12 of the |
|              | 13 English colonies. They passed a Declaration and    |
|              | Resolves opposing the various acts against self-rule. |
|              | By 1775 the colonists began defensive preparations    |
|              | for a war and several local rebellions erupted. The   |
|              | British army responded with deadly force.             |
|              |                                                       |
|              | Many events of the Revolutionary War are taught to    |
|              | schoolchildren in America. There was the famous       |
|              | "Midnight Ride of Paul Revere" who was sent from      |
|              | Boston to Lexington to warn the colonists of an       |
|              | impending attack. The first major battle of the war   |
|              | was the battle of Bunker Hill in Boston where the     |
|              | colonists defending Breed's Hill (the actual          |
|              | location) were advised to not fire on the British     |
|              | soldiers until they could see "the whites of their    |
|              | eyes."                                                |
|              |                                                       |
|              | In the spring of 1776, France and Spain offered their |
|              | support to the revolutionaries. On July 4^th^, the    |
|              | Continental Congress officially endorsed a document   |
|              | drafted by Thomas Jefferson: the Declaration of       |
|              | Independence (of America from British rule).          |
|              |                                                       |
|              | The fighting escalated. On September 22, Nathan Hale  |
|              | was caught spying on British troops in New York. He   |
|              | was executed without a trial and his last words were, |
|              | "I regret that I have but one life to lose for my     |
|              | country."                                             |
|              |                                                       |
|              | On December 25 and 26, Washington and 2,400 troops    |
|              | crossed the Delaware River and conducted a surprise   |
|              | attack defeating 1,500 Hessian soldiers in Trenton,   |
|              | New Jersey. This victory did much for the colonists'  |
|              | flagging morale.                                      |
|              |                                                       |
|              | In 1777, George Washington and the troops survived a  |
|              | devastating winter at Valley Forge. Their loyalty to  |
|              | Washington and the cause of freedom sustained the     |
|              | troops. The fighting continued for four more years    |
|              | until British General Cornwallis surrendered to       |
|              | General Washington at Yorktown on October 19, 1781.   |
|              | But it wasn't until September 3, 1783, that the       |
|              | Treaty of Paris was signed, formally ending the war.  |
+--------------+-------------------------------------------------------+
| ## The Dec   | Despite the actions of the British, the American      |
| laration of  | colonists weren't immediately united in whether or    |
| Independence | not to officially declare their independence from     |
|              | British rule. But eventually the Continental Congress |
|              | came together to pass the Declaration of Independence |
|              | on July 4, 1776.                                      |
|              |                                                       |
|              | The final document contained only a few signification |
|              | changes from Thomas Jefferson's original draft. A     |
|              | condemnation of the British slave trade was removed   |
|              | at the insistence of pro-slavery delegates to the     |
|              | Continental Congress. And a condemnation of the       |
|              | British people was also removed.                      |
|              |                                                       |
|              | The Declaration is composed of three parts. The first |
|              | is an introduction that states the reasons for        |
|              | embracing independence. This section was based on the |
|              | "natural rights" philosophy of English philosopher    |
|              | John Locke, who proposed that people offer obedience  |
|              | to government in return for the government's pledge   |
|              | to protect the natural rights of life, liberty and    |
|              | property. The Declaration refers to "life, liberty    |
|              | and the pursuit of happiness."                        |
|              |                                                       |
|              | The next section covers a series of indictments       |
|              | against King George III, the Parliament and royal     |
|              | officials. The conclusion contains the words of       |
|              | delegate Richard Henry Lee, "That these United        |
|              | Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and       |
|              | Independent States; that they are Absolved from all   |
|              | Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all         |
|              | political connection between them and the State of    |
|              | Great Britain, is and ought to be totally             |
|              | dissolved..."                                         |
|              |                                                       |
|              | The formal signing of the document by 50 delegates    |
|              | occurred on August 2, 1776. Four other signatures     |
|              | were ultimately added between then and 1781.          |
