The United States was born at the Pennsylvania State House, better known today as Independence Hall,
in Philadelphia on 04 July 1776. The date signifies the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. The Constitution was also drafted here which laid the framework for the nation's future.
William Penn - the founder of Pennsylvania - envisaged a people of all faiths living in harmony and freedom, hence the city's nickname "the city of brotherly love".
