Final answer:

John Hancock's large signature on the Declaration of Independence proclaimed the independence of the United Colonies from the British Crown.

Step-by-step explanation:

When John Hancock affixed his famously large signature to the Declaration of Independence on September 27, 1776, he was proclaiming the independence of the United Colonies from the British Crown. The Declaration of Independence, written primarily by Thomas Jefferson, outlined the grievances against King George III and proclaimed that the United Colonies are Free and Independent States. It also asserted that these states have the power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may do.
