| | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania |
 | | Philadelphia is the largest city in Pennsylvania and, at the time of the American Revolution, was the largest and most important city in America. |
 | | The First and Second Continental Congresses were held in Philadelphia, and the city served as the nation's unofficial capital throughout the Revolutionary War, except for the period between September 26, 1777, and June 18, 1778, when it was held by the British. |
 | | Philadelphia, cradle to the American dream of freedom, is home to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, which are great documents that cried out, “Let Freedom Ring,” just like the Liberty Bell. |
