"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..."

It's been done before... Sure those new laws were in large part taxes, but still...

EDIT: I should make perfectly clear that I don't agree with the Confederacy in real life. It's just that this game is forcing me to have to defend them and stuff...:btw
