The Declaration of Independence


My favorite "To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world" item:

"He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions."

My second favorite:

"He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance."
