On your answer sheet mark the corresponding letter.On July 4, 1776, a group of rebels representing the Thirteen British colonies on the Atlantic ocean coast in North America signed a document. It stated that these colonies had the right to be free and independent. The document is known as the Declaration of Independence. July 4 is celebrated by Americans as a national holiday — Independence Day.There is a building in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which is called Independence Hall. Here the Declaration was signed. On the building there is a famous Liberty Bell, which rang to tell the happy people in the streets that a new country had been born. But Britain did not agree with this fact until 1783. That year the American colonists won in the war of Independence with Britain.

June 14 is Flag Day in the USA. On that day in 1777 the Americans adopted their own flag.

The stars in the flag — white on a deep blue background — represent the numbers of states making up the United States.

Americans think about and treat their flag with respect. In American schools the Flag day begins with solemn ceremony of raising the flag.
