1.

Delegates to the American Continental Congress approved and signed a Declaration of Independence on July Fourth, 1776.  The new country called the United States of America was at war with Britain.  Yet, not everyone in the former colonies agreed on the decision.

No one knows for sure how many Americans remained loyal to Great Britain.  The Massachusetts political leader, John Adams, thought about thirty-three percent of the colonists supported independence, thirty-three percent supported Britain, and thirty-three percent supported neither side.  Most history experts today think that about twenty percent of the colonists supported Britain.  They say the others were neutral or supported whichever side seemed to be winning.

Who supported Britain?  They included people appointed to their jobs by the king, religious leaders of the Anglican Church, and people with close business connections in Britain.

Many members of minority groups remained loyal to the king because they needed his protection against local majority groups.  Other people were loyal because they did not want change or because they believed that independence would not improve their lives. Some thought the actions of the British government were not bad enough to make a rebellion necessary.  Others did not believe that the rebels could win a war against such a powerful nation as Britain.

2.Doctors say the head injury called a concussion is more serious for children and young adults than people might think.  They say concussions also may take longer to heal among young people.

A concussion is an injury that happens when the brain is shaken inside the skull.  It can result from a hit to the head, a sudden stop in movement or violent shaking.  Falling off a bicycle, getting hit while playing a sport, or being involved in a car accident are a few of the common causes of concussion.

People who have concussions often have trouble thinking or remembering.  Concussions can also make a person feel very tired or angry.  Other signs of concussion are stomach and head pain, muscle weakness and a loss in sharpness of vision.

The National Institutes of Health says there are about one million cases of concussions each year in the United States.  Hundreds of thousands of them affect children or young adults involved in sports.  Some concussions are more severe than others. But doctors say all of them should be taken seriously.  Doctors say children are not necessarily dependable when reporting about their physical condition after a sports injury.  Many want to get back in the game, on the bike, or to the playground too soon after a head injury.
