From the Paper:

"On the fourth of July 1776, The Declaration of Independence was signed by men that would be known simply as our forefathers. How did this come to be? How is it that men that had not so long before seen themselves as English come to declare independence from there motherland? How is it that simple colonials who were English before they were Americans fight a bloody revolution to gain their independence from the very country they had once sworn allegiance to?"
