“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,”

Throwing off a government is a violent act.

Can you show me in the Declaration of Independence where they use the word secession or that they expected England to just let them go?

That is a great answer to some question, but not to the question I have asked you.

Again, can you show me in the Declaration of Independence where you find the word revolted? Or rebellion?
