TOO LATE TO APOLOGIZE - DEC. OF INDEPENDENCE
The Declaration of Independence is the declaration, or public announcement, that the colonies were officially independent, or on their own. Think of it as of a break-up letter from the colonies to the King George III of England. But instead of the usual break up reasons: "it's not you, it's me," "I think we've just grown apart," or "I just want to be friends" nonsense, it's more like "George you're a jerk and you treated us like garbage, so peace out, have a nice life!"

JOHN ADAMS MEETS KING GEORGE: June 2, 1785
On June 1, 1785, King George formally received John Adams, representative of the fledgling nation that had dealt the British Empire a bitter defeat. The meeting was marked by the pomp and ceremony required by the occasion of a royal audience. But beneath the pageantry, Adams described a strong undercurrent of emotion as the King and his former subject—who once reviled each other as bitter enemies—met face to face, as statesmen. (7m14s)
