His rationalization of not signing the declaration was to try and protect the colonies from the Kings army. He was worried that anyone that even who even dared try to go against the crown would be tried as…

It is thought, that the War was not revolutionary. It is thought that the Declaration was a big change in what others thought in their own laws, but the Declaration of Independence does have one crucial fact that Thomas Jefferson wrote; “...we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created…

disliked the British way of running things so little. This beginning explanation in the Declaration of Independence is called the Preamble, and it does explain the reasons that the American Colonies would like to succeed from the evil English king. The phrase, “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness,” is a famous quote taken straight out of the beginning of the Preamble of the Declaration of Independence. In…

was approved at the time it was written. During the 1700s, the 13 colonies were under the rule of Great Britain, and a lot of people think that they just got fed up with it after a while, but there were reasons for the colonies declaring their independence and eventually, war.

They didn’t have a right to…

Equality Within the Declaration of Independence and Anthem, the authors’ use of the word “we” promote their unique ideas of equality. For example, the Declaration of Independence uses the word to portray a sense of parity among its citizens. When the United States was being founded, a key idea was the equality of all men.

Many myths are associated with the American War of Independence against Great Britain. Perhaps the greatest of these myths, is the belief that the schism occurred as a result of a simple tax revolt against “big government.” This view of American history contains a flaw; accordingly, the Revolution was not the result of some substantive reason of a greater principle but just a conflict of moneyed personal interests.
