1776年7月4日,随着《独立宣言》的诞生,北美13个英属殖民地宣告摆脱大英帝国的统治,成为独立自由的国家——美利坚合众国。作为美国重要的开国文件,《独立宣言》不仅被妥善珍藏,其中“人人生而平等”的理念更被广为传颂,给美国乃至全世界都带来了重大影响。这份重要文件的主要起草人就是美国开国元勋、美国第三任总统托马斯·杰斐逊。可你知道吗?当年的杰斐逊因为思乡情切,差点与这一重要的历史事件失之交臂。而这一切都要从1776年那个炎热的夏天说起。
July 4, 1776 With the birth of the Declaration of Independence, the 13 British colonies in North America declared their liberation from the rule of the British Empire and became independent and free countries - the United States of America. As an important document of the United States, the “Declaration of Independence” has not only been properly preserved, but the concept of “everyone is born equal” has been widely proclaimed, bringing significant impact to the United States and the rest of the world. The main drafters of this important document are the Founding Fathers of the United States and the Third President of the United States Thomas Jefferson.
