The members OF Congress request.

this question had practically
ceased. New York was opposed.
Georgia and South Carolina gave
delegates permission to vote for !.
While North Carolina, Mas achu-
sets, Rhode Island, Virginia,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jer-
sey, Maryland, Connecticut, New
Hampshire were strongly in ia
vor of independence. Thus twelve
colonies authorized their repre-
sentatives to vote for indepen
dence. Popular verdict had set
tied the question in favor of De
claration of Independence.
jefferson submitted to Congre S
on the 2Sth Of June declaration
of Independence, which he had
been requested to prepare. On tine
fourth day of July, l776, twelve
states unanimously adopted the
Declaration of independence. And,
on the 9th day of July, after New
York's hearty approval, the De-
claration of Independence became
the act of the Thirteen United
States.
The declaration not only meant
that the heretofore dependent col

that they were United State
