all settlers were british, britain claimed the new land, eventually taxes got to high, with inflammation and all, so they started rebeling, britain was not about to let its new colony go, so they sent ships (note britain was most powerful in world at the time ). and they tried to control it, but eventually, somebody shot a british soldier, and they got pissed, and started killing everybody.

Mmm it’s hard to accept this fact, but it's true. The worst of this situation is that is too late to stop this process, and there's nothing we can do. The key for the success in the US was the relation of respect that we had with God and humanity, but at this time the US only cares about wars. Sadly, we'll have to accept the idea that US will collapse sooner or later, and that's when we will realize that we are not alone in this world, because there's others countries and we have to learn how to live together. If Empires like Roman fell down, why the US Empire had to be this exception? This is the hard reality. I just can’t assure you how long will this process take, but it’s for sure that it’ll happen, someday, somehow.

The country was together at that time.Vast ammounts of people were willing to sacrafice  for the war effort. That was a real war that brought every one to a common goal-Victory. Unlike todays war of choice which has devided our country,we joined together and did the job that saved civilization as we know it.

The British invaded during the War of 1812.  Freedom was earned during the Revolutionary War, 1776-1783, from Britain.

No because the South was fighting for something we would now identify as individual nation states. If the South had won the war the country would have been divided and each and every southern state would have declared its Independence from everyone else.  The war was mostly about keeping the country together and was bolstered by the cause of freeing the slaves in the south.  Between the two the North had two very noble and just causes for victory over the South.

The declaration of independence has nothing to do with mankind,this is an American belief,yes we are,because we live our life in the manner that we as Americans chose,and not as the u.n.,or the europeans think we should,which in turn really seems to upset those folks,but oh well,we do not follow popular,european,or u.n. belief,that is what makes us independent!

The Declaration of Independence was written to declare our nation's freedom. It was written so that our country could have a choice of religion, freedom of speech, and all the other freedoms we sometimes don't give thanks for and take for granted.

Cause France and Britain were fighting at the time and Britain was blockading our trade with France and kidnapping Our sailors and forcing them into the British Navy to Fight. USA declared war on British and the British Burned down DC, and teh President had to abandon the Capital, the only time in Hirstory that happened, Then in Baltimore they heard what happened in DC and the British were heading their to destroy the port of Baltimore, but Baltimorons were not afraid to fight and repelled the British afetr setting up defensive positions

Last time America played the Isolationist game we had two World Wars.\n\nAdditionally, America hasn't gone after "oil that doesn't belong to us," or at least not in the way that produces "terrorists." We get about 10% of it from the Middle East and the rest for S. America and the S. Pacific. Curiously, far fewer would-be terrorists come from those areas.\n\nHowever, Freedom isn't an isolationist philosophy. If we believe that all men are created equal, how can we enjoy our freedom while we know that there are those who are still enslaved? Are we to believe that only American's deserve freedom, that we are somehow better than everyone else and thus those other people do no deserve the same freedom that we enjoy? If we do nothing to help these people, then aren't we consenting to their enslavement by means of our silence?\n\nNo country is allowed to remain on the world stage for ever; nations rise and fall. America has this one chance to do something good for other people with its power and though we may fail, at least we can say we tried. Greece, Rome, Babylon, Persia, Media, The Merovingians, the Carolingians, France, England, Germany, China, none of them can say the same.

Maybe the US would become more independent and rely on its own resources.

It is an isolationist attitude much like that of America pre WWII.  Hitler had conquered Europe and N Africa minus the UK and Japan had dominated the Asian front, yet nobody in America wanted to commit money or troops to war.  History repeats itself often.  The same thing happened during the Revolution.  Our Army nearly starved to death during winters at valley forge and morristown because of the lack of local support, it was only after the war was won the Americans took credit for their loyal trust in support of the war effort.  Civil War identical, see how Lincoln trampled the constitution to get things done in order to win.  Anyway whether we win against terrorism is purely whether the people wake up from their long slumber and fight for their liberty.  I hope an American City doesn't have to be destroyed before we wake up and take action.

The philosophy was that colonies exist solely for the purpose of creating wealth for the mother country. The colonists felt that at least SOME of the wealth they created should be for their own benefit, not ALL for "the crown", hence the armed conflict known as The American Revolution.

None.  No other country declared or gained independence in 1776

We already dominate the world. The world is jealous of our hard working successful society.\n\nWe have sacrificed our sons and daughters countless times to help stabilize the world. And we have spent vast fortunes to rebuild our enemies homelands and protect their liberty and freedom. Even when they have tried in vain to take ours away.\n\nWhen America goes to war it is for a damn good reason. Period.

You might do well to remember that the USA was founded on the separation of church and state.\nRemember this famous quote; "Freedom can be measured by the distance between the state and the church."
