The first sentence of the Declaration of Independence states "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." Please comment and let me know what you think this means.

"Dear Brave U.S. Soldier..."
If you view it from within an historical perspective... It means that the people of the incipient US rejected the tyranny of a monarchical government that allowed them no say in their own destiny. The latter portion of the quote means that it is outside of God and Nature's (if there is indeed any separation) intention for mankind and that to ensure that God's intention be fulfilled it was incumbent of the people to separate themselves from British rule.
