Assignment:

For this essay assignment, first carefully read The Declaration of Independence (in the back of the textbook or by using the transcription hosted by the National Archives). After reading the document, note that most of it consists of a list of objectionable actions taken against the colonies and Americans by King George III (in the National Archives version, the inset text in the middle of the document).

For this assignment, select three (3) of the king's actions listed in the Declaration and describe and discuss the historical event(s) which led to their inclusion.

For example, if you chose to consider the passage "He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation" then your discussion and response would naturally focus on George III's hiring of the Hessians during the American Revolution. Since this has been included as an example, don't use this passage in your essay.
