Philadelphia's Independence Hall

#staycation in the #usa The old colonial administrative square or what they are now, the Independence Hall, Congress Hall and Carpenter’s Hall. These buildings were the main administrative buildings during the English period. However, the meaning for the early Americans is that this is where the proclamation of independence was first read. Interestingly enough, the proclamation was never intended to be a complete separation and succession from the British Empire. It was meant to be a statement to ask the King of England the right to self governance. Because of how fast things escalated and the propaganda on both sides, the revolutionaries sought complete independence. After the reading happened and the vote casted, the now renegade lawmakers found themselves outside the law and had to meet somewhere else. Their first meeting was in the building of the Carpenter’s Hall. Overall, the Independence Hall and the nearby buildings felt impressive considering their history and valour to the American people. #staycation #urbanexplorer #passionpassport
