Not reading the prior responses, I'm going to give it a stab:
1. Q. Why do we celebrate the Fourth of July? To celebrate America's independence from Britain through the signing of the Declaration of Independence. 2. Q. From which country did America gain independence? England (re: #1) 3. Q. Which river did George Washington and his troops cross in a surprise attack during the Revolutionary War? The Delaware 4. Q. Where was the Declaration of Independence signed? Philadelphia, in Independence Hall 5. Q. What are the three 'unalienable rights' afforded to us by the Declaration of Independence? Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness 6. Q. How many stripes are on the American flag? 13 7. Q. Who wrote the words to the "Star Spangled Banner?" Francis Scott Keyes 8. Q. What country gave us the Statue of Liberty? France, in 1876 9. Q. Who was the first president of the United States? George Washington 10. Q. Which came first: the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence? The Declaration. The Constitution wouldn't be drafted until at least 8 years later, after the war was over. Going to post and then check my answers... Ha...got them all right, except I spelled Key's name wrong...was thinking of another spelling. Oh well...
