That’s not how it was. The only two colonies who refused in 1776 were South Carolina and Georgia. All of the rest were on board with that declaration clause.

That’s 11 to 2, in case you needed numbers.

Why is this so important to you that you’ll go to such great lengths as to ignore the 11?

(Seemed like a re-do was in order.)

Well I do kinda need the numbers. Where do you get this 11 to 2 thing? The Committee of Five drafted the document. When did it ever get to the other representatives before it was written?

I seem to remember you bringing this same argument up a long time ago, and I seem to recall questioning how you arrived at this conclusion back then.

I don't think you gave me a good answer, because I don't recall it. I would think that if you proved your claim, I would remember it, but I don't.
