In 1776, Adams devoted himself completely into the issues about American independence. A resolution, namely the Declaration of Independence, claimed that actions should be taken to make sure that every citizen of the United States should live in the "happiness and safety", was passed by Congress. Adams, as the writer of the introduction of the Declaration as well as one of the editors of the draft, spelled out the principle of independence. While because of his belief that the cause of independence was more important than some phenomena at that time, he did not protest when Congress cut the denouncement of slavery from the Declaration, although he was a lifelong opponent of it. Even though he was considered to have made little contributions to the details of the Declaration of Independence, according to Thomas Jefferson, he served as "the pillar of its support on the floor Congress."

The American Revolutionary War occurred during 1775 to 1781 years, which was an army conflict between the Great Britain and the thirteen united states of America. John Adams said “The Revolution was effected before the War commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations. This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people, was the real American Revolution.” From his view, he thought that because of the designer of independence, freedom, and equality that Americans wanted, states decided to become a unit and start the American Revolutionary War. Therefore, events such as the Albany Plan of Union, Sons of Liberty, Nonimportation Agreements, and Boston Massacre presented Americans’ minds changed before the American Revolutionary War.
