Entry #5: Signing of the D.O.F. 07/18/1776

I am definitely baffled. The patriots have just created another document, but people are fussing about it. On July fourth many important colonists and strong patriots signed the Declaration of Independence. This significant paper addressed our rights and liberties, and officially announced the colonies’ break from Great Britain. It was wrote by the famous Thomas Jefferson and others and expressed that we posses unalienable rights such as: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. He accused the king of pressing unfair laws and high taxes. I don’t know how to react but Linus is furious. Many Loyalists are moving to Canada and we are thinking about it. I confused about what to do.
