In the Declaration of Independence, it states that the "History of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurparations." This quote indicates that the poor treatment of the Americans by the British government has been occuring over a long period of time.

Jefferson goes on to defend this claim by listing a series of grievances (aka complaints). These complaints have occured over the course of several years, further validating Jefferson's argument.
