Free Patriotic Printables (Historical Documents)

The US celebrates her independence this week. So it’s a perfect time to review some of the historical documents associated with the birth of our great nation. To that end, I created some free patriotic printables to use in my own classroom and wanted to share them with my blog readers, as well.

First, we have the opening paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence:

And, just in case you missed this one the last time I published it, here’s the Preamble to the Constitution:

Our founding fathers put a lot of thought and prayer into these documents, carefully weighing each word, attempting to envision the far-reaching implications of every statement.

Our nation would do well to follow their example.
