Rodney will seek alliance with anti British tribes

Yeah, that already passed too.  Boycott goods, Army, Navy, Declaration of Causes, treaty with Anti British Natives and ask Canada for an Alliance all passed in 1775.  Canada rejected.  Goods boycotted, created Army & Navy, British didn't care about causes, and treaty with natives worked.

John Adams is the author of the Declaration of Independence.  The Moderate 39 year old from Massachusetts is an unusual choice, considering he represented the Crown during the Boston Massacre.  He also had served as the President of the 1st Continental Congress, so he was already known in the colonies.  Adams makes the most of his time in the spot light crafting an elegantly written document stating plainly the case of the colonies and why they have decided to separate from their mother country, Great Britain.  

Adams gains Celebrity.  We will now vote on the Declaration drafted by Adams.

How do the following states vote on a Resolution to Declare Independence from Great Britain drafted by John Adams?

CT- Huntington, Sherman, Ellsworth

DE- Rodney, Collins

GA- Bulloch, Treutlen

MA- Pickering, John Adams, Dalton, Bowdoin

MD- Smallwood, Charles Carrollton, Daniel Carroll, Archer

NC- Johnston, Caswell, Harnett

NH- Thornton, Langdon

NJ- Paterson, Clark, Livingston

NY- Jay, Schuyler, George Clinton

PA- Chew, Franklin, Dickinson, Taylor

RI- Tillinghast, Bradford

SC- Henry Middleton, Laurens, Gadsden

VA- George Washington, Richard Henry Lee, Peyton Randolph, Thomas Jefferson
