On that day, American leaders voted in favor of independence from Great Britain. Their vote was the first step toward creating a new country — the United States of America. But Americans still had to decide what kind of country they wanted. What arguments did they have? How did they settle their differences? What kind of government did they create, and why? And what had to be done to bring equal rights to all Americans? In this book, you’ll learn about the U.S. government by discovering how it all began.
