Declaration+of+Independence+-+Joemg11

Hello, I'm John Hancock. I grew up in Quincy,Massachusetts. I went to Harvard College to become a merchant. In 1775 I was elected president of the Continental Congress.We are trying to claim are independence from England. We have 13 colonies across North America. I'm in Massachusetts. Can you imagine hating someone who did wrong to you or to others. That is why we are seperating from England. I am really mad at them. I signed the Declaration of Independence before anyone else. My men trust me because I am the President of the Continental Congress. We want to have independence because the British are cruel. They treat us bad. Also, they boss us around. As I said when I signed the letter,"I want the King to read this without his spectacles." Thank you for listening to my presentation.
