republicanism; the Declaration of Independence (1776) was actualized; Whitman’s poems draw on some of its key tenets, mainly equality and liberty. Like the Declaration of Independence, his poems perpetuate a framework of American democracy and the importance of the democratic individual. However, unlike the Declaration of Independence, which puts forth a politically and historically reactive American republicanism and identity, Whitman’s poems seek to mythologize America as inevitably, inherently and organically
