The Declaration of Independance

While reading over this document in class today I have taken from it that it was not exactly an act of aggression against Britain but it was indeed a last stand against Parliament's transgressions on the people. They stated how they were mistreated and taken advantage of ands how they felt about it. Since they were taken advantage of they decided to leave the British colonies and become independent and call their new nation the United States.  I think they honestly made a bold yet smart decision to become their own nation because they have been cut off from any British supplies due to leaving and have to fend for themselves but in return if they stayed they would have gotten taxed to death.
