"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

. 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."
