Explanation:

The unanimous declaration of the thirteen United States of America is a document drafted by the Second Continental Congress - in the Pennsylvania State House (now Independence Hall) in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776 - which proclaimed that the Thirteen American Colonies - then at war with the Kingdom of Great Britain - they had defined themselves as thirteen new sovereign and independent States and no longer recognized British rule; instead they formed a new nation: the United States.
