On June 7, 1776, Virginia delegate Richard Henry Lee introduced to the Continental Congress a resolution: "That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States." He further called "for forming foreign Alliances and pr...eparing a plan of confederation." Lee's resolution announced America's break from England, but members of Congress believed a more formal explanation was needed to unify the colonies, secure foreign assistance, and justify their actions to the world. Delegates from the middle colonies, however, were reluctant to support the separation from the mother country and postponed a vote on Lee's resolution. (Video is narrated with slides and speeches.)

The ideas behind the Declaration and what makes it so profound. Students should have a copy of it in front of them to make the video more meaningful. Places the Declaration's importance in terms of the nation at that time and its relationship with En...gland. Some of the spokesman provide little insight, but others are very insightful.

This 17 minute examines the basic principles and concepts set forth in the Declaration of Independence, as well as the American leaders, their ideas and the historical events that resulted in the document. Good details. Best used with a timeline and... a word list. Many items need a great deal more explanation, but the video is a good start.
Has video quiz, too.
