Deacon hale had been so nervous every few hours he went in to check on his wife now it was some of the last hours of light left in a day and a nurse came rushing down all of a sudden he asked a thousand questions at once until she said. “Congratulations you have a new son.” On their way back to the cottage the nurse asked a question which he hadn’t thought of “you will name him Richard of course after yourself” “No instead I will name him Nathan after a very patriotic friend of mine I would give anything for my boy to have half his patriotism.”  Little did he know at the time that his boy would be more patriotic then his friend. Nathan hale was born into a family of twelve children on June sixth 1755. He was a very athletic boy with a smile on his face. His father was a very strict religious man Nat, his brothers, and his sisters were not allowed to play board games in less their father was asleep then they would quietly get out a game similar to tic-tac-toe they loved this game . Once little Nat let it slip to his uncle that he knew how play then his uncle told his pa what a smart boy he was. His dad then band them all from the room that the game was in.

In the 1770s America was not a country but rather a colony of Britain. For many years there was much conflict between America and Britain. The colonists were angry with how Britain was treating them like they were Dogs or something. Many colonists believed they had certain undeniable rights that no one could take away.

The king of Britain laid heavy taxes on the colonists. The colonists believed he had no right to do this. The colonists wanted to reconcile with their Mother country. They sent many petitions to their king.

The colonists did not buy anything from Britain. They even went as far as to dump into Boston harbor it died the water brown they said after it happened. The king of England was so mad that he sent troops to America.

Many believed they had no choice but to declare their independence from Britain.

Thus begins the declaration of independence. This document is one of America most favorite symbols (besides the bald eagle.) because it represents its birth as a nation .in it the colonists express themselves and risk their lives. They made this document to name themselves as the United States of America. After many trials this document paved the way for American freedom .
