The Declaration of Independence: Through the Centuries
The words seem simple: "all men are created equal, and endowed with the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Deerfield Public Library - Room A/B/C
Deerfield Public Library
Room A/B/CThe words seem simple: "all men are created equal, and endowed with the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Yet people in every era since have grappled with them. Elizabeth Cady Stanton used them as a starting point. Lincoln regarded them as the essential definition of America. Southern secessionists said they were false. Frederick Douglass called them hypocritical. Join historian Joyce Haworth as she recounts the influence of the Declaration of Independence over the last 250 years.
