All men are created equal

Are all people really considered to be equal in the 13 colonies? According to the Continental Congress “all men are created equally”. Which makes them hypocrites. The Congress favors themselves to be crucial, accommodating, and wanting to show that they are doing the finest for the colonies. But they are treating others the opposite of how they want to be treated, others not just including blacks, but women. The Declaration of Independence was made so that colonists would feel more independent…

of Happiness , and All Men are created equal If the Declaration of Independence was written today, I would change “All Men are created equal " to " All Race created equal ". My reason why is because "All Men are created equal" actually means all white men. If this is a free Country why can't Black People be consider equal and free? Even though Thomas Jefferson wrote in The Declaration of Independence all men are equal he owned more than 200 Slaves. Muslims are not all terrorist, some…

whizzing by, horses neighing, men shouting, muskets firing. As a child I was never normal. While other kids read Percy Jackson, I read about George Washington. When others groaned about history, I squealed. When I was young I considered myself to be the biggest fan of the American Revolution. Though not for the reasons you might think. I did not care for the action, or drama, but rather, the moral dilemmas. It fascinated me that the creator of the phrase “All men are created equal” owned slaves,…

between the north and the south. In the declaration of independence it says that “all men are created equal” and that the united states was the “land of the free”. By the declaration of independence you are probably like “yeah if it says it must be true” but is it really? Is it really land of the free? Is every man really created equal? I believe that these words are not true, i believe that not every man was created “equal”, and that the land was not just the land of the “free”. Here are some…

(Tindall and Shi, 2013) Although, this concept meant different things to different people; the saying "all men are created equal" was not really what happened.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” (Thomas Jefferson) If this is true, why, no more than 11 years later did some of the same original people meet to revise this country?
