Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence unified the colonies and was the first to mention "United States of America", and it also inspired other nations to create similar documents. It did not give all Americans consent to be governed (as many groups like women, slaves were excluded). The first - shots of the Revolutionary War were fired before the Declaration was adopted. And including a list of grievances against King George was just one part of its content, not its most significant aspects in terms of overall historical significance.
