Note. — The official count of the Legislature included the votes evi-
dently cast for the candidates, though not preciselj' correct, in their
aggregates. The county footings in the above table do not include these
irregular ballots in the vote, while the grand footings are as declared by
the Legislature. Hence the discrepancy in the addition.

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one
people to dissolve the political bands 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.
We hold these truths to be self-evident : that all men are created
equal ; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
rights ; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness ;
that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, de-
riving their just powers from the consent of the governed ; and that,
whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it
is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new gov-
ernment, laying its foundations on such principles, and organizing its
powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their
safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments,
long established, should not be changed for light and transient causes ;
and, accordingly, all experience hath shown that mankind are more dis-
posed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by
abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long
train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object,
evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their
right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new
guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of
the colonies, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter
their former systems of government. The history of the present king of
Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having
in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these
states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary
for the public good.
He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing
importance, unless suspended in their operations till his assent should be
214 DECLAKATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
obtained; and, when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to
them.
He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of largo dis-
tricts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of repre-
sentation in the legislature — a right inestimable to them, and formidable
to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfort-
able, and distant from the repository of their public records, for the sole
purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for opposing, with
manly firmness, his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused, for a long time after such dissolutions, to cause others
to be elected; whereby the legislative powers, incapable of annihilation,
have returned to the people at large for their exercise; the state remain-
ing, in the mean time, exposed to all the dangers of invasion from with-
out and convulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states; for that
purpose obstructing the laws of naturalization of foreigners, refusing to
pass others to encourage their migration thither, and raising the condi-
tions of new appropriations of lands.
He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent
to laws for establishing judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of
their ofiices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of
officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in time of peace, standing armies, without the
consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the military independent of, and superior to,
the civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to
our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his assent to
their acts of pretended legislation.
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us;
For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any mur-
ders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states;
For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world;
For imposing taxes on us without our consent;
For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefit of trial by jury;
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. 215
For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offences;
For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring prov-
ince, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its
boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for
introducing the same absolute rule into these colonies;
For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and
altering, fundamentally, the forms of our governments;
For suspending our own legislatures, and declaring themselves invested
■with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protec-
tion, and waging war against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and
destroyed the lives of our people.
He is, at this time, transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to
complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun,
with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most
barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow-citizens, taken captive on the high seas,
to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their
friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored
to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers the merciless Indian savages,
whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all
ages, sexes, and conditions.
In every stage of these oppressions, we have petitioned for redress in
the most humble terms. Our repeated petitions have been answered only
by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every
act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We
have warned them, from time to time, of the attempts, by their legisla-
ture, to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded
them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We
have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have
conjured them, by the ties of our common kindred, to disavow these
usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and corres-
pondence. They, too, have been deaf to the voice of justice and of con-
sanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity which de-
nounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind,
enemies in war, in peace, friends.
216 DECLARATION OF ESTDEPENDENCE.
TVe, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in
General Congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the
world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name and by the au-
thority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare
that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and inde-
pendent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British
crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of
Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved; and that, as free
and independent states, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace,
contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things
which independent states may of right do. And, for the support of this
declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence,
we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred
honor.

and the Executive Government of the United States, including the mili-
tary and naval authority thereof, will recognize and maintain the free-
dom of such persons, and will do no act or acts to repress such persons or
any of them in any effort they may make for their actual freedom: that
the Executive will on the first day of January aforesaid, by proclama-
tion, designate the States and parts of States, if any, in which the people
therein respectively shall then bo in rebellion against the United States;
and the fact that any Statu or the people thereof shall on that day be in
good faith represented in the Congress of the United States by members —
chosen thereto at elections wherein a majority of the qualified voters of
such state shall have participated — shall, in the absence of strong coun-
tervailing testimony, be doomed conclusive evidence that such State and
the people thereof are not in rebellion against the United States;
Now therefore I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States,
by virtue of the power in me vested, as Commander-in-Chief of the Army
and Navy of the United States, in time of the actual armed rebellion
against the authority and government of the United States, and as a fit
and necessary war measure do, on this first day of Jjuuiary in the year of

hundred days from the day first above mentioned, order and designate as

clare that all persons held as slaves within said designated States and
parts of States, are, and henceforward shall be free, and that the Execu-
tive Government of the United States, including the military and naval
authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of said per-
sons, and I do hereby enjoin upon these same people so declared to bo
free, to abstain from all violence, unless in necessary self-defence. And
I recommend to them in all cases when allowed, to labor faithfully for
reasonable wages; and I further declare and make known that such per-
sons of suitable conditions will be received into the armed service of the
United States, to garrison forts, positions, stations and other places, and
to man vessels of all sorts in said service. And upon this act, sincerely
believed to be an act of justice warranted by the Constitution, upon mili-
tary necessity, I invoke the considerate judgment of mankind, and the
gracious favor of Almighty God.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be afiBxed.
