3rd Grade: The Declaration of Independence
Lesson Introduction
America now has 50 states. But, this was not always the case. Originally, there were only 13 colonies. The colonies were ruled by the British king. The colonies were home to men, women, and children who left England and other places in search of a new home. Some came for religious freedom, while others were seeking better opportunities. Religious freedom means that the government cannot force people to follow a particular religion or prevent them from practicing their own beliefs.
