Insurrection in the Colonies, are causes sufficient to drive an oppressed People to the use of Arms. We therefore the Subscribers, Inhabitants of South Carolina, holding ourselfs bound by that most Sacred of all Obligations, the Duty of good Citizens toward an injured County, and thoroughly convinced, that, under our present distressed Circumstances, we shall be Justified before God and Man in resisting Force by Force; Do unite ourselves under every tie of Religion and the Honour and associate as a Band in her Defense, against every Foe. Hereby solemnly engaging that, whenever our Continental or Provincial Councils shall decree it necessary, we will go forth and be ready to sacrifice our Lives and Fortunes to secure her Freedom and Safety. This obligation to continue in full Force until a Reconciliation shall take place between Great Britain and America, upon constitutional Principles an Event which we most ardently desire. And we will hold all those persons inimical to the Liberty of the Colonies, who shall refuse to subscribe this Association.
