Excerpt from : The Declaration of Independance.

United States of America, July 4, 1776.

We hold these truths to be self evident.

Insurrections have endeavored to bring on the merciless Indian Savages whose rule of warfare is a

destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

All men are created equal they are endowed with undeniable rights, life, liberty and the pursuit of

happiness.
