Give Us Liberty!

Today we learned about why we celebrate the 4th of July, Independence Day. Here you can see King George of England taking taxes from the Americans. The Declaration of Independence is in the back. We learned that John Hancock was the first to sign it, and he signed it large enough that King George could read it without his glasses!
These Americans don't look happy! The Declaration of Independence marked our country's birthday,
 but Americans had to fight for freedom.
