the state that refused to sign was New York

AnswerActually, no state refused to sign, but a delegate from Pennsylvania, John Dickinson, and a couple others would not sign it. The only NY delegate that did not sign was Robert R. Livingston. He did not refuse to sign, but he was not in Philadelphia at the time of the signing. His cousin, Philip, also a NY delegate signed the Declaration.

There were many persons that did't sign the declaration because if they did not had won the American Revolution All those who signed were going to be search and killed so those who had valor and signed are now a day thanked like George Washington to mention some.

King George most certainly was. There were many loyalist who resided in the colonies at the time of the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration was made after the war had all ready begun and was written to make clear why the colonies had revolted. The loyalists either remained bitterly quiet or joined the British army to try and put down the rebellion.
