Declaration of Independence was announced on July 4, 1776 during the war between thirteen American colonies and Great Britain. The colonies declared that they are independent states and formed the United States of America. One of the main authors of the declaration was Thomas Jefferson.
according to British law, at the time, if a document goes ignored its ratified, so the Founding Fathers Sent the Document to King George III and he ignored it, so we recieved our independence later on after war..
