The year was 1776. The colonies had technically been in a state of war (or rebellion) for over a year, since the battles at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775.

The Declaration of Independence is an open letter to George III, explaining why the American colonies considered themselves free from British rule. It was written by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776, with changes suggested by others including Benjamin Franklin and John Adams. It was adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776.
