437 had been taken by Great Britain against them, so far as to hire mul- titudes of foreign troops for a more vigorous prosecution of the war. The pubHc mind, under the constant excitement of sufferings or fears, began to think of adopting a course different from that hitherto pur- sued. The winter and spring of 177G were spent in discussions, appeals and publications of every sort, urging the expediency of a total separation from the mother country. The momentous step was taken into serious co...nsideration by Congress, then assembled at Phi- ladelphia and consisting of the representatives of thirteen Colonies, viz. Massachusetts including Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. After long and animated debates, a Declaration of Independence, drawn up by Thomas Jefferson, was unanimously approved on the Fourth of July, a day for ever memorable in the annals of America, and then solemnly proclaimed to the people.
