On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence, marking the formal separation of the thirteen American colonies from British rule. Drafted primarily by Thomas Jefferson, the document articulated the colonies' grievances against King George III and articulated the principles of individual liberty and government by consent. This date is now celebrated annually in the United States as Independence Day, symbolizing the birth of the nation.
