In every stage of these expressions We
have petitioned for redress in the most hum
BILE terms. Our repeated petitions have been
answered only by repeated injury A prince
whose character is thus marked by every act
which may define tyrant is unfit to be the
ruler of free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attentions TO
our British brethren. We have warned them,
from time to time, of attempts by their legis-
lature to extend an unwasrantable jurisdic-
ton over US. We have reminded them of the
circumstances of our emigration and settle
ment here. We have appealed to their ma
tive justice and magnanimity, and we have
copiured them by the ties of our common
kindred to disavow these usurpations. which
would inevitably interrupt our connection
and correspondence. They, too, have been
deaf to the voice of Justice and of consanguin-
ity. We must, therefore. acqufesce In the
necessity which denounces our separation,
and hold them, as we hold the rest of man
kind, enemies in war, in peace friends.
We, therefore. the representatives OF the
United States of America, In general congress
assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge
of the world tor the rectitude of our inten-
tions, do, in the name and by authority of the
good people of these colonies, solemnly pub
lish and declare, That these united colonies
are, and by right ought to be, Free and Inde.
pendent States; that they are absolved from
ell allegiance to the British crown, and that
all political conpexion between them and the
state of Great Britain is. and ought to be,
totally dissolved and that, as Free and In
dependent States. they have full power to
levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances,
establish commerce, and to do all other acts
and things which Independent States may OF
right do. And for the support of this declar-
alton, with firm reliance on the protection
of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to
each other our lives, our fortunes, and our
sacred honor.
The foregoing declaration was, by order of
congress- engrossed, and signed by the fol-
