Try reading some history. A hot war, with invasion of British troops and foreign mercenaries, a war with deaths, sacking of cities, imprisonment of opponents, and blockade of ports had been going on for over a year before the Declaration of Independence was issued.
The Declaration didn't cause the war. The war caused the Declaration.
It was a real Revolution, not an unconstitutional secession.
Given what you’ve previously said, I don’t think it is worthwhile to take any advice from you regarding History. Given the accuracy you’ve shown so far, I might as well be reading “Lord of the Rings.”
As I have now come to the end of the extant messages, I am going to bid this thread adieu.
