First sentence: When the American colonies rebelled against Great Britain, the rebels gave their reasons in the Declaration of Independence: 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.
