Read this excerpt from the declaration of independence
"we have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over
us. we have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. we have appealed to their
native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these
usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. they too have been deaf to the
voice of justice and of consanguinity. we must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our
separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace friends."
