<P>This book discusses the Declaration of Independence and how it is regarded as America's most important document, which set down the reasons for the colonies to break away from British rule. The Declaration was written during a period of great turmoil as those favoring independence struggled to convince loyalists of the importance of going to war against Great Britain and establishing a new nation. In adopting the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress established a framework for equality, human rights and democratic government.</P>
