We claimed our independence from Britain and democracy was born. It announced to the world that "these United Colonies" are "Free and Independent States" and absolved their ties with England, thus beginning the war for independence. They had declared their right to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

The United States is truly a diverse nation made up of dynamic people and every day thousands leave their homeland to come to the "land of the free and the home of the brave" so they can begin their American Dream.
