Forasmuch as all the endeavours of the United Colonies, by the most decent representations and petitions to the King and Parliament of Great Britain, to restore peace and security to America under the British government ... instead of a redress of grievances, have produced ... oppression, and a vigorous attempt to effect our total destruction. ...
