"When, in the course of human events..."

And thus began the Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America, adopted by Congress on July 4, 1776.

Here, the reading of the Declaration is re-enacted at Nash Farm Battlefield in Henry County, Georgia. It was actually pretty moving.

The re-enactors were very good, staging a duel between the Tories and the Colonists.

Read the full text of the Declaration here.
