For years, the colonists had been taxed without representation and made to house an increasing number of unwelcome British troops. The situation quickly escalated into warfare and bloodshed during the Boston Massácre and the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The revolutionaries in the Continental Congress knew action was necessary. Overcoming widespread opposition, they put their minds to the task of writing the Colonies' declaration of independence from Great Britain. The result was a clear and lasting declaration of the American ideals we know today: that all men are created equal and have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. *********** Illustrated volume with facsimile documents that give a picture of the world of the American revolution. CONDITION: Slight wear to covers, else appears unmarked. An attractive copy. FROM THE BOOKSELLER: Thank you for visiting the Dactyl Books eBay Store!
