American revolution - Political
The Declaration of Independence was a very daring, unheard of, and almost stupid move in the eyes of even those who wrote it. This letter declaring the fact that we demanded to be free and our reasons why was signed by people such as John Hancock, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and many others. It was then sent to the king and they awaited the response. The response, in the end, was a war. The British did not want us to separate and being the biggest super empire at the time they did not think it would even be a challenge to deal with us "bratty teenagers" complaining about our rights. Well as it goes, the pen is mightier then the sword, and never count your chickens.
