INTRODUCTION

The U.S Declaration of Independence is an important document.  It created the United States of America as it announced the separation of the United States from the British Empire.  Independence Day is an important holiday in the U.S.  This book features trivia questions that cover a range of details relating to the Declaration of Independence and the celebration of Independence Day.

This book can be used in a couple of different ways.  It can be used to learn about Independence Day.  You read the book and make your best guess as to what the answer is with the questions and then you read the answers and learn more about Independence Day.  It can also be used to play a competitive or cooperative trivia game.  In the competitive game you work against friends to see who gets more questions answered correctly and in the cooperative game you work together to see how many questions you can answer correctly.

I hope you have as much fun answering these questions as I had researching and writing them!  Thank you for reading this book.  If you purchased it on Amazon, I would greatly appreciate your feedback.
