Why did the colonists write the Declaration of Independence?

During the mid to late 1700s, the British Parliament passed a number of laws that severely limited the freedoms of English colonists in America. As a result, in 1774, delegates from the colonies formed the First Continental Congress to send a list of complaints to King George III. The King ignored the colonists. In June 1776, the Second Continental Congress met in Philadelphia and decided it was time to create a document that declared America's independence from Great Britain. Because the King kept ignoring the colonists' complaints, the only choice left was to rebel.


What events marked the beginning of the American revolution?

If you mean what caused the revolution, then I have an answer:The Second Continental Congress was unhappy with Britian, so they sent King George III a letter stating why they were unhappy and if he didn't stop his evil doings they would declare war. King George III completely ignored the letter and kept with his ways. When the congress saw this, they officially declared war on Britain and both countries set up armies.

Was the draft of the Declaration of Indepencance hidden in a tree?

No, the draft of the Declaration of Independence was not hidden in a tree. This is a myth that likely stems from stories about the secrecy surrounding its creation. The document was primarily drafted by Thomas Jefferson in June 1776 and was kept under wraps until it was officially adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. While there were discussions and debates about the document, there is no historical evidence to suggest it was hidden in a tree.

What saved Continental dollars from becoming worthless?

The French recognition of the Continental Congress as legitimate and their acceptance of the Continental dollar as a form of payment helped to prevent it from becoming worthless. Furthermore, the successful enforcement of policies like the July 1777 Currency Act and the establishment of the Bank of North America helped stabilize the value of the Continental dollar.

What kept sovereignty in the states?

The Articles of Confederation, the initial form of government in the United States. The Articles were passed by the Second Continental Congress on November 15, 1777, and ratified by the states on March 1, 1781. They were the post-war basis for the government until the adoption of the US Constitution on September 17, 1787 and its ratification on June 21, 1788. The Articles, although forming a "perpetual Union", kept the individual states as sovereign, and did not provide for taxation or the uniform governing of land grants by the central government.
