... Actually the Declaration of Independence (written in 1776) is part of what started the Revolutionary War. The war ended in 1781; however, the Treaty of Paris wasn't signed until 1783 where the British abandoned all claims to the United States thus giving Americans freedom from the throne.

Okay. I'm done with today's history lesson. More fireworks!
