Kings

"He [King George] has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred right of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither."
-- Thomas Jefferson (deleted portion of a draft of the Declaration of Independence, June 1776)
