The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Unfortunately, you did not attach the list. Without the list, we do not know the reference to support the notion of the Declaration as a lawyer's brief.
However, in order to help you, we can answer in the following general terms.
The Declaration of US Independence can be compared to a lawyer's brief, which is an outline of the claims and the evidence the lawyer will present in a case.
We can set the example of the following lines of the Declaration: <em>"The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance.."</em>
In this portion of the Declaration, we can see how a lawyer could have stated the reasons why the King of England was oppressing the 12 American colonists
The Declaration of Independence was promulgated on July 4, 1776, and was immediately adopted by the Continental Congress. It was drafted by Thomas Jefferson, with the help of John Adams, Robert Livingstone, Benjamin Franklin, and Roger Sherman.

Well, there were two important turning points of the war.
The first one is the Battle of Gettysburg. Basically, Robert E. Lee and the Confederate Army marched into Pennsylvania to capture a town in order to cut off Washington D.C from the rest of the Union, which could force a decisive surrender of the Union. However, Union forces met with Confederate forces, resulting in a bloody battle that ended with the most notable conflict of the battle of General Pickett's Charge, which was the final conflict that resulted in the defeat of the Confederates. This was decisive because General Lee did not attempt to strategically end the war after this battle. Which further meant that Lee would have to fight an already pro longed war when the South did not have the resources or the industrial capacity or the able bodied men to serve as soldiers as the North did.
The second turning point I would say would be the appointment of General Ulysses S. Grant of the Union forces by Lincoln, due to that he was a brilliant general and already known war hero, and for the fact that of his only acceptance of enemy surrender conditions as "unconditional", hence his nickname "Unconditional Surrender Grant".
Those who are loyal to the president have been appointed as civil servants and it had led to the corruption in the federal government system.

Andrew Jackson was elected as president in March 1829, he tried a method of hiring federal workers and that system is called spoils system. In this system the appointment of civil servants and the federal workers are done on the basis of loyalty.
