~Under Construction~

 ~Why sign the Deceleration of Independence Speech~  - Hello, I am Oliver Wolcott, a lawyer representing Connecticut. I am here to sign Declaration of Independence, and in return, get rid of the British "ownership" on us all together. - Have you ever been told what to do? That is what King George and Parliament is doing to us. We have no representation, and we are told what to pay for taxes. They should not be able to force us to do all of these things with a whole ocean in between us!  -You should trust me because I am a lawyer, so I persuade people and tell the truth for a living. Also, I raised a militia to fight during in the French and Indian war. If major generals trusted me, so should you. - Britain is telling us what we can and can not do. When we came to this land, we came for freedom. There isn't, so we are slaves to the British, and there will be change.  - The people of the United States of America are willing to fight for this freedom, and freedom is what will come of it.
