We
now
consider
ourselves
to
be
an
independent
country
.

have
no
more
loyalty
to
Great
Britain
and
they
no
longer
have
the
power
to
rule
over
us
.

Governments
are
formed

Every
time
we
colonists
felt
we
were
being
treated
unfairly
,
we
wrote
the
king
.
He
answered
by
treating
us
more
unfairly
.
A
ruler
who
abuses
his
power
should
not
rule
us
.

it
.
