The history teaches us that United States declared independence from Great Britain, on 4th July 1776, during the American Revolutionary War that lasted about 8 years. The Declaration of Independence has been largely written by Thomas Jefferson who was a member of five-man committee, appointed by the Continental Congress, that included John Adams, Roger Sherman, Benjamin Franklin and Robert Livingston. The revolutionary war ended with the Treaty of Paris on September 3, 1783, signed by US and British Representatives, recognizing US independence and granting US significant western territory. On April 30, 1789, George Washington, as a political leader, military general, statesman and Founding Father, took his oath of office as the first President of the United States.
