Declaration of Independence: Compromise or Hypocrisy?
oh this smells like a history question/homework. sniff! sniff! well, my wondering friend, the declaration of independence was a doent meant to declare america's freedom from england. period! ah, yeah. slaves were owned by the foundling fathers and also by those who had little or nothing to do with the declaration (writing it or signing it or whatever!)! i know it is a socially acceptable thing since the 1960s to harp on the 'black' question & slavery but who speaks for the mexican or native american people - their 'thing'? huh? do you know that they were slaves way before the africans were imported but it didn't work well, so.............! even among the signers & designers, some american/europeans weren't as equal as others. the whole doent was written by men who lived in an entirely different time with entirely different values (than us today). how would you have written it? what changes would you make? would YOUR doent stand the test of time, or be quoted, copied? huh? lay off these gents. they might not have had ALL of everyone here in the americas thought of or included but then who did and who does today? america has over 280 million people within and all things considered, i think we get along a lot finer than most think. know what my daddy said years ago? america! love it or get your out of it! see! simple solution for simple-minded people.
