1 / 5

What King was the Colonists trying to flee from in England?

During the American Revolution, the colonists fought to separate from King George III. He ruled over Great Britain during the era of the Stamp Act, the Boston Tea Party, and the Declaration of Independence, ultimately losing the American colonies after the Revolutionary War.

2 / 5

Who was the main author of the Declaration of Independence?

Thomas Jefferson was the main author of the Declaration of Independence. He was chosen by the Continental Congress and drafted the document, though it was edited and refined by the "Committee of Five"—which included John Adams and Benjamin Franklin—before its adoption on July 4, 1776.

3 / 5

How many Colonies originally signed the Declaration of Independence?

Representatives from all 13 colonies signed the Declaration of Independence. A total of 56 delegates eventually signed the historic document. 
Although New York's delegation initially abstained from voting on July 4, 1776, they later gave their authorization and signed the document.

4 / 5

What city was the first Capital of the United States?

The first capital of the United States was Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where the Second Continental Congress met to adopt the Declaration of Independence in 1776. While the Continental Congress relocated several times during the Revolutionary War, Philadelphia officially served as the first capital under the Articles of Confederation and the U.S. Constitution. 
Because Congress was forced to move multiple times due to advancing British troops and soldier mutinies, several cities temporarily acted as the capital. The early capitals include: 
    • York, Pennsylvania (1777–1778): The Continental Congress fled here and adopted the Articles of Confederation, which officially named the country the "United States of America". 
  • New York City, New York (1785–1790): The first official capital under the newly ratified U.S. Constitution. George Washington was inaugurated here at Federal Hall in 1789.

5 / 5

Where was the Declaration of Independence signed?

The Declaration of Independence was signed at the Pennsylvania State House—now known as Independence Hall—in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 
While the Continental Congress adopted the document on July 4, 1776, the official signing primarily took place on August 2, 1776.
