What does the Declaration of Independence say about the rights of people?
The declaration of Independence of the United States according to the "Center for Civic Education" is stated the following:
"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"
In other words since the U.S.A became independence, the human rights were important for them. They took the time to take a look in what they needed to improve to make the beautiful country that we see today.
The enlightenment was basically the "Age of reason" it was the movement. After the war(s), the people wanted like a revolution or independence. Anything that deals with peace or better economy.
It is clear that Douglas viewed African Americans as inferior beings who should not be given the rights of white people. Lincoln felt similarly, but at least thought they should be free.
