At the beginning we had small battles like Lexington and Concord, 19th April 1775; The Battle of Bunker Hill, 17th June 1775 and The Battle of Quebec, 31st December 1775; The Northern and Southern colonies knew that the war was real and we had to be unified in our efforts to win, the middle colonies thought as late as May 1776 that it was all minor disagreements and we could still make peace with the King. Even with all the excess of the British Government many felt that war was avoidable or unnecessary at this time; so the Northern and Southern colonies pushed the idea of the declaration to show the need and justification for going to war. The representatives in Congress that believed the time for separation had come wanted a way to clearly state to their brothers the reasons why a break with Great Britain was necessary. One purpose of the Declaration of Independence then, was to boldly state the reasons for separation with Britain to both their friends and their enemies and to persuade them that the separation was morally justified and that they should join the cause.
