Until this July 4, 177G, the Ameri-

constituted authority. They were
rebels against their king and traitors
to their country. Had the British been
uccessful IN the conflict the names OF
the great leaders of the revolution
would scarcely have been named III

The Declaration was read II days

No wonder that American people are
proud of this great work, which con-
verted attainted rebels into dignifei
