These United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and
Independent States... And for the support of this Declaration, with a
firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually
pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That
to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men...
The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated
injuries and usurpations... He has plundered our seas, ravaged our
Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with
another...a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that
they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
