The "Declaration of Independence" was about "Independence", and sensible people do not need to have this observation brought to their attention.
No matter how true it is, or how obvious it is, you want to claim it means something else, and I simply don't have any interest in wasting time with this sort of nonsense.
If you choose to ignore the fact that the Declaration of Independence was the laying out of the moral basis for the separation, you’re simply willfully ignorant.
Ignorance can be cured. Willful ignorance not so much.
