By issuing the Declaration of Independence, adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, the 13 American colonies severed their political connections to Great Britain. The Declaration summarized the colonistsâ motivations for seeking independence.
The document was ultimately spoken to the British government, declaring the independence of the colonies from Britain and the creation of a new United States of America. Not all people were immediately in favor of it. Some of the colonists wanted to remain loyal to Britain, and the result was the American Revolutionary war, which raged on for 7 years until 1783, until Britain finally recognized the United States.
