I believe that the content of the Declaration of Independence has greatly  changed on almost every other of US history even in today's modern times. I also believe that with the US nation's expansion  the across the North American region and abroad they have contradicted the Declaration of Independence.

It is proven throughout history that according to Americans all men are not created equal they are not titled to life or happiness let alone Liberty. One  can look recently from US drone strikes abroard to the bombing of Japan even as far back to the Civil War. Violence is not the only way this document has been contradicted for the US. The US has also used  laws to suppress citizens and humans living in the US.

To refer to the video Scientific racism: the eugenics of Social Darwinism, other races were still at the level of beasts " inequality is the proper way to run a society. those who know should rule those who don't know. men should rule woman, white people should rule black, educated should rule the masses" .

I feel David Walker's appeal was a just agreement that the Declaration of Independence was get for the white man and men of color or not included because they felt men of color  are property or beasts.

the discussion in class brought  up a lot of good questiona such  as is slavery still present even though we are not working for free and we are not in Chains and bonds. Is slavery know seen as a poor/rich issue instead of a race  issue  that is a much deeper topic I will not get into at  the moment.
