The Birth of the Republic

"The Birth of the Republic" refers to the founding of the United States as an independent nation in 1776. It followed years of colonial unrest due to unfair British taxes and restrictions. With the Declaration of Independence, colonies declared their sovereignty, emphasizing ideals like liberty and self-governance. This marked the start of a revolutionary war, leading to victory and the formation of a new government. The event signified a shift from colonial rule to a republic where citizens have a say in their government, laying the groundwork for democratic principles still in practice today.
