On July 4, 1776, the Continental Congress of the American
people approved the Declaration of Independence from the British; thus setting
the 13 colonies on the road to freedom. The Committee of Five Founding Fathers
- Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Roger Sherman and Robert R.
Livingston – drafted the document with Jefferson writing most of its contents.
As at 1776, there were about 2.5 million people in the
United States. Now, the population is over 320 millions.
Happy July 4th, independence anniversary!
