===The Deceleration of Independence===
After New World Bound ends, Benjamin Franklin informs guests that America was not an easy place for settlers. He then goes on to explain that in the future decades , America would face a new problem- a growing separation from Great Britain. Colonists are then shown on the screen, rallying against Britain British rule and debating what to do. Franklin informs guests that:
{{Quotation| First we spoke out with our voices, then we spoke out with action, with a growing defiance, that led to the Boston Tea Party.|Ben Franklin}}
At this point in the attraction, the screen goes dark and a large glass scroll comes down from the ceiling. The scroll is proclamation from King George III, telling the colonists that in response to the Boston Tea Party, Boston Harbor will be closed. As colonists debate the merit of revolution, Franklin then explains to guests that finally it was time for action. As the glass scroll is raised back up, it reveals Thomas Jefferson sitting in his loft, working tirelessly. As the young Virginian continues his work, as Benjamin Franklin climbs up the stairs to enter the room. After an exasperated Jefferson proclaims that John Adams should have been the one to write the Declaration of Independence, Franklin reassures him that he is the only man for the job. After making a joke about Franklin falling asleep during the last session of the Continental Congress, Jefferson explains that the Congress was able to ratify a final version of the DeclaratioDeclaration. He then reads:
{{Quotation| We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.
