Oh well! - as a fully paid up Colonialist (note - not a colonist!) I have
to give a piece of trivia!
At the time the Declaration was not regarded as very important, this
emphazised by the fact that the signatories were allowed to decay by there
own populace. But did you know that an original copy of the Declaration
was found hanging on a Post Office wall in some small town sometime in the
50s to 70s !!!!!!!
