Well, Case, I'm afraid I'm a bit late in replying here. I'd intended to play devil's advocate and post the following:
___________
"Yikes, I don't know where to start, Case.
I thought you were going to ask a question about it.
Below, you asked if I had read it. (Or perhaps you were asking folks more generally.)
Well, the answer is: Yes, I have, but not in a long time, so far as I can recall. It used to hang on my wall when I was a kid. But it's still pretty much as I remember it.
Since Tom put in such a long laundry list of complaints, I guess what occurs to me is: Were the British really so bad, or were they merely trying to recoup some of the losses from the war, and trying to pay for the defense of the continent?" And were the colonist reacting more to the affronts to their liberty, or to their pocketbook.
Since were talking about the Declaration, let me rephrase that: Does it portray an accurate picture of the situation at the time? And does it provide sufficient justification for what is, in effect, a mutiny?"
_________________
Of course, by the time the Declaration came out, events had already been taking a nasty turn for over a year. Prior to that, however, wasn't there still an awful lot of room for reconciliation?
Boston could cave paid for that tea party, after all. ;)
