Read the quotation about a vision for American
society after the American Revolution.
"This Sir, was a time in which you clearly saw into the
injustice of a State of Slavery, and in which you had
just apprehensions of the horrors of its condition, it
was now Sir, that your abhorrence thereof was so
excited, that you publickly held forth this true and
invaluable doctrine, which is worthy to be recorded
and remember'd in all Succeeding ages. 'We hold
these truths to be Self evident, that all men are
created equal, and that they are endowed by their
creator with certain unalienable rights, that among
these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happyness."
