Independence, be it for a nation, a group, or an individual, is the capacity for self-reliance, individual choice, and freedom from the control or influence of others. In International law, a fundamental Human Right.
My ASL Dictionary cartoon of a Suffrage Protester, fighting for the same voting rights as men, shows the ASL hand sign for INDEPENDENCE and INDEPENDENT.
Initialized hand sign. The I hands held together, the left over the right. The hands are drawn apart, as the wrists twist to turn both hands palm forward, a visual for breaking free from chains.
Similar motion to the hand sign for SAVE and FREE.
