"When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one nation to dissolve the political bands which have connected them to another and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and nature's God entitle them, a decent respect for the opinion of mankind require that they declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
With these words the angry colonists inform King George II of England and to the world that the British government has gone too far in imposing punitive acts against the American colonies.
John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Robert R. Livingston, and Roger Sherman created the most powerful statement in history, telling the world that England had crossed the line. That statement, The Declaration of Independence, set the thirteen disorganized colonies on the path to greatness as their victory over the greatest military power of the time resulted in the creation of the United States of America, the greatest nation to ever exist.
Owensby brings the Declaration into the twenty-first century as he details the events and the men that led to the American Revolutionary War and the Declaration of Independence.
