The unanimous declaration of the thirteen States of the United States of America

Declaration unanimously adopted by thirteen States of the United States of America

When it is necessary for a nation to break the political ties that link them with another nation in the process of human activities and assume the independent and equal status given to them by the laws of nature and the God of nature in the power of the earth, decent respect for human opinions requires them to announce the reasons for their separation.

In the development of human affairs, when a nation must sever its political ties with another related nation and accept the independent and equal status given by the laws of nature and the will of nature creators in all countries of the world, out of respect for human public opinion, it is necessary to announce the reasons why they have to be independent.

He incited domestic rebellion among us, and tried his best to provoke the residents of our frontier, the ruthless Indian barbarians. Their rules of war were to kill them regardless of age, sex and conditions.

He incited civil strife among us and tried his best to provoke those ruthless and uncivilized Indians to slaughter and plunder the residents of our frontier; As we all know, the Indian's operational rule is to kill all men, women and children.

At every stage of these oppression, we ask for compensation in the most humble way: our repeated requests are only met with repeated injuries. A monarch, if his character is branded by every behavior that can be defined as a tyrant, is not suitable to be the ruler of a free nation.

At every stage of these oppression, we plead for improvement with the most humble words; However, repeated requests get repeated injuries. When a monarch's character is branded as a tyrant, he is not worthy to be the ruler of a free nation.

We have not neglected our English brothers. We warn them from time to time that their legislature is trying to extend improper jurisdiction to us. ?

We have reminded them of our immigration and settlement here. We call on them to be born just and generous, and we call them to deny these usurpations with our common blood relationship, which will inevitably interrupt our contact and communication. They also turned a deaf ear to the voice of justice and blood. Therefore, we must tacitly condemn the necessity of our separation and regard them as enemies in war and friends in peace, just like other human beings.

It's not that we don't pay attention to our English brothers. We often remind them that their legislature is trying to impose unreasonable jurisdiction on us.

We also told them about our immigration here. We once called on them to have a natural sense of justice and generosity, and we begged them to give up these predatory behaviors for the sake of the same clan and not to affect their relations and exchanges. But they turned a deaf ear to this call for justice and blood. Therefore, we really want to get rid of them and treat them like other nationalities in the world: war is the enemy; Peace is a friend.

Therefore, we, the representatives of the United States of in the name of people, gathered together at the plenary meeting to ask the world's highest judge for the correctness of our intentions, and solemnly announced and announced that these unified colonies are, and naturally should be, free and independent countries with the kindness and authority of these colonies;

They have been exempted from all loyalty to the British royal family, and all political ties between them and the British countries have been and should be completely lifted; As free and independent countries, they have full power to wage war, conclude peace, conclude alliances, establish commerce, and do all other acts and things that an independent country may do. In order to support this declaration, we firmly believe in the protection of God, and we swear to each other with our lives, property and sacred honor.

Therefore, we, the representatives of the United States of in the name of people, gathered at the continental congress, with the goodwill of the colonies and their authorization, appealed to the highest justice in the world, explained our solemn intentions, and solemnly announced; These United colonies are now and have the right to become free and independent countries. They have cancelled all their loyalty to the British royal family, and all their political relations with the British country have been cut off and must be cut off.

As free and independent countries, they have every right to declare war, conclude peace, form alliances, conduct trade and take all actions that independent countries have the right to take. In order to support this declaration, we firmly believe in God's blessing and swear to each other with our lives, property and sacred reputation.
