Question

If you were a colonist alive at the time, would you sign the Declaration of Independence? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Yes, because would you want to be under rule of someone across the sea?

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

It's easy to say "yeah sure. It's a good thing to do."

But remember to sigh it, was to commit treason and the law was enforced towards the end. I don't have that kind of courage or commitment. I don't think I'd like to face my neighbors either, who would most likely be "pro-waking George up" to the price of tyranny. I'd likely do what many loyalists did and that would be to flee to British held Canada.
