In response to these conditions, the colonists waged war against the British and won, creating the United States.

After the American Revolutionary war, the colonies signed the Treaty of Paris, which established a new form of government and clearly defined territories.

The Declaration of Independence stated that the colonies were free from the rule of the British king and that they would not be subject to British taxation.

The Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776 adopted Declaration of Independence to split from Britain. Hence July 4, 1776 is celebrated as Independence Day.
