Great choice! You have decided that it would be rather difficult for you to show any loyalty to the colonies while you were in London. You are getting tired of all the whimpering and crying coming from the colonies. Most British feel the same way. They are showing their support by joining his majesty's, King George III, royal militia. However, you don't feel that joining the militia would be the best thing for you right now. Instead, you have decided to write the king a declaration of loyalty to him and England! Who knows, maybe he will reward you! Now all you need to do is write a declaration to the King notifying him of your loyalty. He will be pleased.

Oh, but before you can write up a declaration, you had better do some studying on writing in the 1700's.

     The King won't be able to understand your writing and will have you beheaded! YIKES! Follow the links below and study how to write your declaration. You will need to use aspects from every site.
