For depriving US, in many cases, of
the benefits of trial by Jury;
For transporting us beyond the seas
to be tried for pretended offenses;
For abolishing the free system of
English laws in neighboring prov
ince, establishing therein an arbitrary
government, and enlarging its boun-
daries, SO as to render it at once an
example and fit instrument for intro
ducing the same absolute rule into
these colonies.
He has abdicated government here,
by declaring US out of his protection,
and waging war against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged
our coasts, burned our towns, and de-
stroyed the lives of our people.
He is, at this time, Transporting
large armies of foreign mercenaries
to complete the works of death DESC
lation and tyranny, already begun,
with circumstances of cruelty and per-
fidy scarcely paralleled in the most
barbarous ages, and totally unworthy
the head of "a civilized nation.
He has constrained our felow-citi-
zens, taken captive on the high seas,
to bear arms against their country, to
become the exeeutioners of their
friends and brethren, or to fall them
selves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrec-
lions among us, and has endeavored to
bring on the inhabitants of our from
tiers, the merciless Indian savages,
whose known rule of warfare is an
undistinguished destruction of all ages,
sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these expressions
we have petitioned for redress in the
most humble terms; our repeated petit
tions have been answered only by re-
peated injury A prince whose char
acter is thus marked by every act
which may define a tyrant, is unfit to
be the ruler of free people.
Nor have we been wanting in at
tention to our British brethren. We
have warned them from time to time
of attempts made by their Legislature
to extend an unwarraHtable jurisdic-
tion over us. We have reminded them
of the circumstances of our emigra-
tion and settlement here. We have
appealed to their native justice and
magnanimity, and we have conjured
them, by the ties of our common kin
dred, to disavow these usurpations,
which would inevitably interrupt our
connection and correspondence They
too, have been deaf to the voice of jus
tice and consanguinity. We must,
therefore, acquiesce in the necessity
which denounces our separation, and
hold them, as we hold the rest of
