The Declaration of Independence Through the Centuries (Hybrid)

The 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. Joyce Haworth recounts the influence of the Declaration over the last 250 years, for our nation and to the world.
