"They gave a reason for independence, declared their independence, and set up an independent government."

Well, two out of three is not too bad, for you. It is clear the Virginians want local autonomy and chaffed under the British appointed governors and officials. With that said, there is no declaration of independence in the document. In fact, when they did declare their independence the next month, they did so as one of the "united colonies."

Sorry, you are over-reaching again.

Exactly what is it about the phrase "TOTALLY DISSOLVED" that you do not understand, capitan?

As I said, you are simply being slothful and arrogant in defense of your ignorance out of a vain attempt to compensate for your inability to get it right the first time you posted. By persisting as you are now you only further prove my case.
