When in the Course of Human Events
One of the most famous introductions to any document ever published.
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Lexington and Concord
Boston Massacre
Here is Paul Revere's engraving of the Boston Massacre
New Text with BIG Picture
"Man knows no master save Heaven, or those whom choice and common good ordain."
(From the Title Page of Common Sense by Thomas Paine
"PERHAPS the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor; a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defence of custom. But tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason."
Thus begins the pamphlet which may have done more to create
--We hold these truths to be self-evident...All Men Are Created Equal
--endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights
--life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
--it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government
--these united colonies are, and of right ought to be free and independent states
