Why is the Declaration of Indepedence a breakup letter with Britain?
well, break Declaration of Independence up: the root of Declaration is Declare-to say or state. Independent-meaning to not rely upon anyone else. So when our nations founders wrote the Declaration of Independence, they were pretty much saying: "We are our own nation now, we don't need you anymore. we are Independent. (We don't depend on you anymore) we can handle ourselves.**before it was written, America relied upon Britain for everything, and was ultimately controlled by Britain. So we "broke up" with them, and Declared our Independence/"Stated we are on our own"

The Declaration of Independence declared the 13 colonies to be free and independent from the people of England. I'm not positive but that is the closest I've come to answering this difficult but clever question. I actually used threee super-computers to get this answer. None of them pulled it up.

I had to delete that answer and ut this one on. So this is a best guess. :-) --Totally awesome person you don't know
