Was worth a reread before it gets trampled by 🤡.

Seemed important to read at this moment in time. From the Declaration of Independence: “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 excited domestic Insurrections amongst us” 🤔🤔

Some say it’s outdated. And that’s because we’ve gotten so much worse that what was once good is now looked down upon. Like slavery.

Hadn't read these important documents word for word since my college days, so I needed a reminder.

I appreciated R.B. Bernstein's introduction to the documents to clarify their development, along with a chronology of key dates.
