On a hot summer day near Philadelphia in 1776, Thomas Jefferson sat at his desk and wrote furiously well into the night. He was drafting the Declaration of Independence, a document that would sever ties with Britain and announce the establishment of a new nation: the United States of America. Colonists were willing to risk their lives for their freedom, and the Declaration of Independence made that official.
