XVIII VINDICATION AND OFFER FROM CONGRESS TO PARLIA- MENT * Forasmuch as the enemies of America in the Par- liament of Great Britain, to render us odious to the nation, and give an ill impression of us in the minds of other European powers, have represented us as unjust and ungrateful in the highest degree; assert- ing, on every occasion, that the colonies were settled at the expense of Britain; that they were, at the ex- pense of the same, protected in their infancy; that they now ungratefully and unjustly refuse to con- tribute to their own protection, and the common defence of the nation; that they aim at independ- ence; that they intend an abolition of the Naviga- tion Acts; and that they are fraudulent in their commercial dealings, and purpose to cheat their creditors in Britain by avoiding the payment of their just debts; * Dr. Franklin was put on a committee to report to Congress a declaration to be published by General Washington, on his arrival in camp at Cambridge in the summer of 1775. This paper is doubtless one of the fruits of the discussions in that committee. It is in reply to what Mr. Vaughan calls ‘““a severe act of Parliament which reached the colonies about that time.”’ 188
