Prominent American colonists signed the Declaration of Independence on 4 July 1776.After a protracted struggle, British forces surrendered in October 1781.n September 1775 rebel General Richard Montgomery led American forces on the first major offensive of the war, seizing the forts at Ticonderoga and Crown Point in northern New York, and Fort Chambly in Quebec. quÃ©bec
