AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE DAY _{Projectbritain}

American Independence Day

Thirteen states on the Atlantic coast of North Americain were once British Colonies. The states are Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. In 1775, fighting broke out between the Colonies and British troops (American Revolution). They felt that the British Parliament and its King, George III, were making too many laws that took away too many of their freedoms.

On 4 July 1776, the 13 states declared their independence and formed the United States. George Washington became the first President. Ever since then. this day has been a holiday in America.

Why did England first establish colonies in North America?

Queen Elizabeth I of England granted Sir Walter Raleigh permission to establish colonies in North America.
