IV. READING
Read the passage and decide whether the sentences are True (T) or False (F).
AN INDEPENDENT NATION
Before the United States was a country, it was a group of English colonies. Until 1763,
England didn't really bother the American colonists. The people handled their business the way
they wanted.
However, England had a lot of war debts to pay. Some of the money was owed because
England had defended the colonies in the French and Indian War. Citizens who were living in
England wanted taxes to be lowered. The king decided to take more control over the colonies to
get the money to pay off the debts. He started a new tax for the colonies.
After being left to make their own decisions for so long, some of the colonists did not want
to give up control. They did not want to pay high taxes. They did not want to follow rules that
didn't make sense to them.

The colonists were divided. Loyalists wanted the colonies to stay part of England. Patriots
wanted America to be established as an independent nation.
The Patriots decided that it was time to send a letter to the king. They wanted to make an
official declaration, or statement, of independence. Thomas Jefferson wrote the group's ideas into
a letter to King George III. Jefferson explained why the colonists believed they no longer had to
listen to his authority. By signing the Declaration of independence, the men were risking their lives
if the colonies lost the war. They signed it anyway.
