Cobblestones Home : Colonial Lives : Journal of John Hancock

     It was a truly sunny bright day when I got up from bed and I went and got dressed. When I was going to town, I saw General Washington coming into town on his great white horse.
I had gone with him because that's were were I was going . We were both sitting down when Thomas Jefferson walked through the great doors.

     As we sat in the back of the state house we started to discusses the signing of the declaration . General Washington told them that they need things for the winter like wool blankets and shelter. After the meeting was over I had went home. When I got home I was really sleepy.

     I went into town and for some it puzzled me that everyone was outside I tried to get in the state house but I could not’t then I had seen a back window open so i had climb through it. George Washington was up in front and he and the rest of the congress were talking. I went up to General Washington to find out what was going on, but then I overheard the congress men that was about us becoming in independent country. After that, the declaration of independence will say why we are rejecting the British as our rulers. We the people of Philadelphia are sick and tired of the taxes on tea, stamps, newspapers, and even the diplomas without are consent. We all know that we are going to become an independent country and I, along with General Washington, Thomas Jefferson and the congressmen from all the colonies will see that it will happen. Thomas Jefferson is an eloquent writer, so we would like him to create the document that we are going to sign. Everyone will be grateful for what is going to happen and we were going to be the first to make us become in independent country. We will be happy to see the British leave our colonies.

     This was a monumental day and the first day in the new country. We, the Continental Congress, met in the state house. It was small and very hot and humid but no one cared because it was one of the greatest days ever. After Thomas rewrote the Declaration of Independence it was complete. I was the first to sign it and I was filled with great pride. I had signed it large and bold so the king himself could see my name without his glasses on. After I had signed it the rest of the 55 delegates had signed it.

     We went out to celebrate but a lot of the congressmen were worried because we have just declared independence and we are beginning a revolutionary war. We have declared independence for people but our army is new, and not well trained yet. Even though we were scared we were still joyful because we just declared our independence and we should be really proud that we have done that for our country. This day we all got back to are celebration and we made a toast to everyone that has participated in this wonderful moment.
