I have chosen only one of the original signers to give more detail, due to the various interests of the colonists.
The idea of me being asked to sign the Declaration of Independence indicates that I am a man of great responsibility. ... Taking full responsibility for my actions, and understanding the implications I may placed on my people, I cannot simply read and sign. ... Should I place my signature on this declaration I will have to consider two courses of action. ... Or, I can choose to sign and make an ignorant assumption that this statement does not apply to slaves. I am however an educated man, which is one of the reasons I have been asked to be here in the first place, and even if I can pass this farce on to the people of South Carolina, I will have to live with this lie of ignorance forever. ... The boycott is weak and ineffective, reflective of its source, but this declaration unites it with the northern states. The boycott will become stronger with each endorsement of the declaration. ... There is even a man born of Britain, now living in Philadelphia, who wrote a pamphlet that has inspired the vast majority of the colonist to revolt in search of independence.
