Don't ask me why I did this. lmao

Teh unanimouz declaration of teh thirteen unitd statez of america, when in teh course of hooman events, it becomez necessary 4 1 peeps 2 dissolve teh political bandz which haz connectd them with another, an 2 assume among teh powerz of teh earth, teh separate an equal station 2 which teh lawz of nature an of nature'z god entitle them, a decent respec 2 teh opinionz of mankind requirez that they should declare teh causez which impel them 2 teh separation. 
 
we hold these truthz 2 b self-evident, that all men r creatd equal, that they r endowd by their creator with certain unalienabl rights, that among these r life, liberty an teh pursuit of happinesz. --that 2 secure these rights, governmentz r institutd among men, derivin' their jus powerz from teh consent of teh governed, --that whenevr any form of government becomez destructive of these ends, it iz teh rrite of teh peeps 2 altr or 2 abolish it, an 2 institute new government, layin' iz foundation on such principlez an organizin' iz powerz in such form, az 2 them shall seem most likely 2 effec their safety an happinesz.  Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governmentz long establishd should not b changd 4 light an transient causes; an accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind r more disposd 2 suffer, while evilz r sufferable, than 2 rrite themselvez by abolishin' teh formz 2 which they r accustomd.  But when a long train of abusez an usurpations, pursuin' invariably teh same objec evincez a design 2 reduce them undr absolute despotism, it iz their rrite, it iz their duty, 2 throw off such government, an 2 provide new guardz 4 their future security. --such haz bin teh patient sufferance of these colonies; an such iz nao teh necessity which constrainz them 2 altr their formr systemz of government.  Teh history of teh prezent kin' of grrreat britain iz a history of repeatd injuriez an usurpations, all havin' in direc objec teh establishment of an absolute tyranny ovr these statez.  2 prove this, let factz b submitd 2 a candid world. 
 
he haz refusd hims assent 2 laws, teh most wholesome an necessary 4 teh public gud. 
 
he haz forbidden hims governorz 2 pasz lawz of immediate an pressin' importance, unlesz suspendd in their operation till hims assent should b obtained; an when so suspended, he haz uterly neglectd 2 atend 2 them. 
 
he haz refusd 2 pasz othr lawz 4 teh accommodation of large districtz of peeps, unlesz those peeps wud relinquish teh rrite of representation in teh legislature, a rrite inestimabl 2 them an formidabl 2 tyrantz only. 
 
he haz calld togethr legislative bodiez at placez unusual, uncomfortable, an distant from teh depository of their public records, 4 teh sole purpose of fatiguin' them into compliance with hims measurez. 
 
he haz dissolvd representative housez repeatedly, 4 opposin' with manly firmnesz hims invasionz on teh rightz of teh peeps. 
 
he haz refusd 4 a long tyme, aftr such dissolutions, 2 cause otherz 2 b elected; whereby teh legislative powers, incapabl of annihilation, haz returnd 2 teh peeps at large 4 their exercise; teh state remainin' in teh mean tyme exposd 2 all teh dangerz of invasion from without, an convulsionz within. 
 
he haz endeavourd 2 prevent teh population of these states; 4 that purpose obstructin' teh lawz 4 naturalization of foreigners; refusin' 2 pasz otherz 2 encourage their migrrationz hither, an raisin' teh conditionz of new appropriationz of landz. 
 
he haz obstructd teh administration of justice, by refusin' hims assent 2 lawz 4 establishin' judiciary powerz. 
 
he haz maid judgez dependent on hims will alone, 4 teh tenure of their offices, an teh amount an payment of their salariez. 
 
he haz erectd a multitude of new offices, an sent hithr swarmz of officerz 2 harrasz our peeps, an nom out their substance. 
 
he haz kept among us, in timez of peace, standin' armiez without teh consent of our legislaturez. 
 
he haz affectd 2 rendr teh military independent of an superior 2 teh civil powr. 
 
he haz combind with otherz 2 subjec uz 2 a jurisdiction foreign 2 our constitution, an unacknowledgd by our laws; givin' hims assent 2 their actz of pretendd legislation:

4 quarterin' large bodiez of armd troopz among us:

4 protectin' them, by a mocc trial, from punishment 4 any murderz which they should commit on teh inhabitantz of these states:

4 cutin' off our trade with all partz of teh world:

4 imposin' taxez on uz without our consent:

4 deprivin' uz in many cases, of teh benefitz of trial by jury:

4 transportin' uz beyond seaz 2 b trid 4 pretendd offencez

4 abolishin' teh free system of english lawz in a neighbourin' province, establishin' therein an arbitrary government, an enlargin' iz boundariez so az 2 rendr it at once an example an fit instrument 4 introducin' teh same absolute rule into these colonies:

4 takin' away our charters, abolishin' our most valuabl laws, an alterin' fundamentally teh formz of our governments:

4 suspendin' our own legislatures, an declarin' themselvez investd with powr 2 legislate 4 uz in all casez whatsoevr. 
 
he haz abdicatd government here, by declarin' uz out of hims protection an wagin' war against uz. 
 
he haz plunderd our seas, ravagd our coasts, burnt our towns, an destroyd teh livez of our peeps. 
 
he iz at thiz tyme transportin' large armiez of foreign mercenariez 2 compleat teh workz of death, desolation an tyranny, already begun with circumstancez of cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleld in teh most barbarouz ages, an totally unworthy teh head of a civilizd nation. 
 
he haz constraind our fellow citizenz taken captive on teh high seaz 2 danger floof armz against their country, 2 become teh executionerz of their frens an brethren, or 2 fall themselvez by their pawz. 
 
he haz excite domestic insurrectionz amongst us, an haz endeavourd 2 brin' on teh inhabitantz of our frontiers, teh mercilesz indian savages, whose known rule of warfare, iz an undistinguishd destruction of all ages, sexez an conditionz. 
 
in evry stage of these oppressionz we haz petitiond 4 redresz in teh most humble terms: our repeatd petitionz haz bin answerd only by repeatd injury.  A prince whose charactr iz thuz markd by evry ac which may define a tyrant, iz unfit 2 b teh rulr of a free peeps. 
 
nor haz we bin wantin' in atentionz 2 our british brethren.  We haz warnd them from tyme 2 tyme of atemptz by their legislature 2 extend an unwarrantabl jurisdiction ovr uz.  We haz remindd them of teh circumstancez of our emigrration an setlement here.  We haz appeald 2 their native justice an magnanimity, an we haz conjurd them by teh tiez of our common kindrd 2 disavow these usurpations, which, wud inevitably interrupt our connectionz an correspondence.  They 2 haz bin deaf 2 teh voice of justice an of consanguinity.  We must, therefore, acquiesce in teh necessity, which denouncez our separation, an hold them, az we hold teh rest of mankind, enemiez in war, in peace frens. 
 
we, therefore, teh representativez of teh unitd statez of america, in general congrress, assembled, appealin' 2 teh supreme judge of teh world 4 teh rectitude of our intentions, do, in teh naim, an by authority of teh gud peeps of these colonies, solemnly publish an declare, that these unitd coloniez r, an of rrite ought 2 b free an independent states; that they r absolvd from all allegiance 2 teh british crown, an that all political connection between them an teh state of grrreat britain, iz an ought 2 b totally dissolved; an that az free an independent states, they haz full powr 2 levy war, conclude peace, contrac alliances, establish commerce, an 2 do all othr actz an thingz which independent statez may of rrite do.  An 4 teh support of thiz declaration, with a firm reliance on teh protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge 2 each othr our lives, our fortunez an our sacrd honor.
