2. The Declaration of Independence was passed unanimously.

Kinda sorta.

A majority of each of the state delegations was in favor, but by no means were all of the individual delegates in favor.

The IRA’s stated goal was/is the imposition of a socialist, Irish speaking regime in the 32 counties of Ireland. The organization's first objective was to destroy the government of the the six northern Irish counties that are part of the United Kingdom. But a significant majority of people in these six northern counties wanted to remain part of the UK. There were and are democratic elections in this part of the Ireland and , all through the Troubles, the political party which shilled for the IRA—Sinn Fein— never achieved more than 10 percent of total votes cast in Northern Ireland. It is NOT analogous to the situation of 1776 because the Irish terrorists were operating against a democratic government and had access to the ballot. They were a small minority attempting to impose their will on a majority population by murder and terror.

I refer especially to the title of the document:

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
