Happy Birthday America

Twelve score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth a new nation. It was an idea, years in the making. A place called Independence Hall in Philadelphia became the birthplace of the United States of America. In the Summer of 1776, the Second Continental Congress signed the Declaration of Independence. Eleven years later, in that same room, the lasting framework of government was created and signed. It is forever known as the United States Constitution. Our nation's birth came over a year after the war began in Lexington and Concord.
