Read the following excerpts from the draft and revision of the Declaration of Independence: DRAFT:
[W]e have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration & settlement here, no one of which could warrant so strange a pretension: that these were effected at the expense of our own blood & treasure, unassisted by the wealth or strength of Great Britain: that in constituting indeed our several forms of government, we had adopted one common king, thereby laying a foundation for perpetual league & amity with them: but that submission to their parliament was no part of our constitution nor ever in idea, if history be credited: and we have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, as well as to the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpation which were likely to interrupt our correspondence & connection.
REVISION:
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 usurpation which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence.
