What does this mean in modern language? (Please NO links and please ANSWER the question)

Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present king of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

The first sentence are explaining how the colonists enduring pain and misery under the British rule, and how the founding fathers are trying to make a government where this cannot happen again. The next sentence is explaining more in depth of what life was like under the British empire's rule. The last sentence is about how they are claiming independence.
