what role did he/she play in the building of our nation?

I wrote the Declaration of Independence. The declaration of Independence is one of the most importance paper in our country's history. It's allot of work, but everyone is happy with it. On July 4, 1776, the leader of the congress signed the Declaration of Independence. So, after the congress signed it, the war begin. Americans were fighting England to win their freedom. It last for eight years, the war is called the Revolutionary War.
