Seo Ho Cho December 17, 2015 HIS 130 Y01 To my dear friend Hi my friend. By the time you read this letter, I am not going to be alive in the world anymore that because I have gotten a disease from a hard work and violence. Even now, black slaves like us who has not given freedom, and we suffered from severe labor except bedtime thus far. By the way, as you probably know, finally in 1776, some members of the 13 Colonies met in Philadelphia and declared independence from England and Thomas Jefferson was the chief proponent of the Declaration of Independence. The declaration includes the preamble, which is a declaration of principles, as in "we hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, and that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. And whenever any government becomes injurious of these rights, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it. Thomas Jefferson did the majority of the writing, Dr. Franklin said he had made it a practice never to be the author of any paper to be reviewed by a public body, though he assisted with the editing, tweaking the wording a little. However, Jefferson is a lifelong owner of slaves, although he helped to declare, “all men are created equal” when writing the “Declaration of
What other people had created a climate for revolution among the masses before 1776? (One might mention Patrick Henry. Samuel Adams, and Thomas Paine, author of "Common Sense.")
The Declaration of Independence is one of the most remarkable documents of the United States of America. The elaborate document contains almost fourteen-hundred words including a basic structure divided into two parts and within the two divided parts contains four main ideas within seven components. The declaration is not just any standard written document; it is a work of art painted by colonists who are driven by rage because of King George III of Great Britain injustices’ toward the colonies. This exemplifies that colonists took control and took part in creating the Declaration of Independence by voicing their opinions, hoping to acquire the freedom they deserve, “through time, to come together in one place, in one time, and in one
“We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” - The Declaration of Independence
When in the Course of human Events, it becomes noticeable that teachers are easily distracted by children who cause disruptions in the learning environment rather than focusing on students who try to learn. In order for a change, we the students are required to scribe our own Declaration of Independence, so that others around the world are informed on why students who want an education should be able to receive one and not be casted out by teachers due to others in the vicinity behavioral issues.
The Declaration of Independence, completed and signed in July of 1776, marked the official separation between the 13 colonies and Great Britain. An armed struggle between the colonies and Britain had begun just over a year before, with the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The formal declaration of independence established the new American revolutionary government and officially declared war against Great Britain. The primary purpose of the declaration was to assist the Second Continental Congress in obtaining aid from foreign countries. The document also clearly outlines the history of abuses the colonists had suffered under British rule since the end of the French
The Declaration of Independence Each year in the United States of America, Americans honor and celebrate the courageous actions that our nation's founders took on July 4, 1776. In the late 1700’s, the British Parliament passed a number of laws that severely limited the freedoms of English colonists in America. According to the Library of Congress’ official website, “On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress, meeting in Philadelphia in the Pennsylvania State House, approved the Declaration of Independence, severing the colonies' ties to the British Crown” (Loc.gov). Throughout our Nation's history, Americans
“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.” If these words are true then why should we segregate one another by a precondition such as Universal Health care? A system that should allow residents of a specific region the opportunity to have healthcare coverage. This paper argues stipulations that all residents should be given the opportunities stated in the founding documents as well as the right to suitable healthcare, economic productivity and, a base for a just nation. In 2014 according to the US Census Bureau 33 million people in the United States which equates to 10.4% did not have health insurance. Thus, possibly assisting with the inability to provide residents with lifesaving treatments and accurate care for those in dire need but were unable to receive certain previsions due to not having health care.
When in the course of human events, it is a great travesty and woe when a time comes for a child to dissolve the family ties to his or her parents, the ones that have supported them in this world. However, it becomes a necessary action when parents begin to over-manipulate their children, or become controlling in a way which suffocates. It would be a disrespectful act to assume such things without facts and evidences demonstrative of the necessity of these children’s action of separating from the control their parents hold.
On April 13, 1743, in Shadwell, Virginia, Thomas Jefferson was born. He was the author of the U.S. Declaration of Independence; the country 's first secretary of state (1789-94); second VP (1797-1801); and, as the third president (1801-09), the statesman in charge of the Louisiana Purchase. As open authority, history specialist, savant, and ranch proprietor, he served his nation for more than five decades.
In the letter and in the Declaration of Independence there are a lot of quotes that show that Thomas Jefferson would probably support today's protests. " Yet where does this anarchy exist? Where did it ever exist...?" This shows that the British are saying false information about them and said they were in "anarchy." Also in the Declaration of Independence it states, " All men are created equal." This shows that everyone is created equal and should be treated that way. Even though some people act differently from one another, they were created the same way you were, EQUAL. IN these 2 documents there were many more powerful and strong quotes but I chose 2 that really stood out to me. They said that some people though they were better than others,

The purpose is to state the way how they want to be parted from Great Britain. The tone is straight forward and authoritative. The audience is the government in Great Britain.
By the time you receive this letter, you will have heard about the Declaration of Independence. You will also have heard about my decision to support this Declaration, but what you will not have heard about is the real situation here in the New World.
Prior to start of the French and Indian War, the British colonists in North American considered themselves nothing other than loyal British subjects. The unstinting colonial support for the British war effort against France is clear evidence of this fact. Analysis of primary source documents from the colonies, addressed to the King and Parliament over the next two decades, shows a gradual shift of colonial self-identification away from that of British subject, to that of "American". Examination of The Declaration of Independence, The Olive Branch Petition and The Resolutions of the Stamp Act Congress in October 19th 1975 clearly indicate this trend.
The Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Second Continental Congress at Independence Hall in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776. The document announced that the colonies regarded themselves as thirteen newly independent sovereign states no longer under British rule. The writers of the Declaration expressed ideals stating that men are created equal and that all men have basic human rights given to them by God. The purpose of a government, according to the Founding Fathers, was to protect the basic human rights which Jefferson listed as “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” However, the deplorable institution of slavery prospered after America gained its independence. African Americans were denied natural rights and were not
