Our independence began when we wrote the Declaration of Independence, which signified we became an independent country.

Statistics, stories from people of the time, and reasons why something happened, this is the formula for the majority of the chapters. There is nothing wrong with the formula, but it is very repetitive, and can dull the reader out after around five or six chapters at a time. After reading those three chapters, the reader is ready for one of the agency chapters. My favorite agency chapter is chapter four: The NRA.
