week 2 : History of July 4

Matt Damon tells the Declaration of Independence

This video shows that Matt Damon is talking about the Declaration of Independence.

He is pointing out that the Declaration of Independence is very important to the American people because this spirit of the Declaration of Independence made all people in the U.S equal and same. This one also importantly considers about people's life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

Because of being this document, people can freely speak and protest in order to make the U.S better.

The reason why I selected this video is that the Declaration of Independence made  the foundation of spirit which American people consider now: Liberty.

I watched the video about 20 minute
