We have not been craving in attentions to our fellow British friends. We have reminded them to take caution when trying extend jurisdiction over us without the right and power to interpret and apply the law. We warned them of the laws of our settlement and emigration here. Our connections and cooperations have will be disrupted due to denying their illegal infringements. We will not support their injustice, thus, we will separate our alliance and hold them responsible for their actions. They are now our Enemies in War.
Answer:Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. 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 have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. 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.
