The 2nd Continental Congress
The Battles of Lexington and Concord took place in April of 1775. A few months later, the Congress reconvened in Philadelphia for a second time. This 2nd Continental Congress faced some very important questions. Did the unfortunate events at Lexington and Concord mean that we were at war with Great Britain? Was it time to raise a Continental Army, and if so who would lead it? And, if we were now at war with Great Britain, should the colonies declare independence from their mother country? The men to the right are known as some of the "founding fathers" of the United States. These men, along with those who would eventually help write the U.S. Constitution, are called that because they helped found, or establish the United States of America. The Declaration of Independence The Declaration of Independence, is exactly that: the declaration or public announcement that the colonies were officially independent, or on their own. Think of it as a kind of break-up letter from the colonies to the King of England, only instead of all that "it's not you, it's me" and "I think we've just grown apart" nonsense, it's more like "you're a jerk and you treated us like a piece of garbage, so peace out, have a nice life!" Parts of the Declaration of Independence: Part 1: Preamble We're Separating Part 2: Declaration of Rights This is what we believe Part 3: List of Grievances King George III is a tyrant, and here's why Part 4: Attempts to Reconcile We've Tried, but it's not working Part 5: Resolution So peace out! |
