Declaration Of Independence

I find it hard to believe that the Unites States of America has been independent for 230 years now. Wow! That would mean almost four generations past my genealogy. Anyway, the idea struck me after I watched the movie National Treasure on our LG plasma television. Apparently, the movie talked of a treasure map at the back of the Declaration. The markings or drawings were written using invisible ink, so the lead characters used special lenses or spectacles to see the astonishing revelation.

Well, the movie is just a work of fiction. Besides, if the map is true, then the Declaration, just like what happened in the movie, could have been stolen hundreds of years ago. The real deal is that the gentlemen from the thirteen original American states that signed the Declaration have one thing in mind, and that is freedom. I am not really knowledgeable of the content of the Declaration. I mean, I studied it in school, but I am not that genius to memorize it. All I know is that, there came a time in American history when the welfare of human kind must be addressed. Doing this is a risky move. Being an independent nation means more turmoil. Add to that the many adjustments the people must undertake. But, after everything has been put to a conclusion, the states finally agreed to declare the independence of America. The foundation of this proclamation was so strong that it endured wars and the attacks of colonizers.
