| dbp:quote
|
- "It [the Augusta Declaration] is the first deliberate expression of the policy of establishing an independent state government and a permanent confederation of the States which our parliamentary journals contain; for, although several counties had expressed a resolution to sustain the Conventions in all measures which should be deemed necessary for the public weal, and had shown a spirit equal to every emergency, none had made so direct and so explicit a representation of the mode of redress which the crisis required . . . "
This memorial was presented five days before the grand committee. . . made that report recommending a declaration of independence and a formation of a state government wholly independent of the British Crown. This memorial from Augusta . . .deserves to be stereotyped as the Magna Charta of the West." (en)
