Decleration+of+Independence+Jeffwp11

Hi, I'm Thomas Jefferson from Virginia Colony. I am a lawyer, plantation owner, scientist, and much more. I am speaking because I want the thirteen colonies to unite and gain independence from Britain!

I was the third eldest child of ten children! Two of my siblings died in their childhood, my wife is ill, and my little Jane died last year and I couldn't treat them because we have no medicine in America! Why should we not fight them?

You should trust me because I am a highly educated person. I am a quite proficient lawyer and I am fluent in 5 languages. I've also studied philosophy for many years. I believe that we can defeat Britain and make this country great. This Decleration shall start our revolution!

King George has taken away many things from us.

He won't let us pass laws we need for everybody's good. He won't let us buy and sell things from wherever we want. We can only buy things from England.


 * "Any people that would give up liberty for a little temporary safety deserves neither liberty nor safety.", Benjamin Franklin once said. This is true! We must fight for liberty!**
