The Declaration of Independence declares that "all men are created equal."

History

Alina [70]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: The statement “all men are created equal” was said in a time that, quite frankly, did not truly understand this fact at all. It was written by Thomas Jefferson, who owned slaves. When we read this now we find it obvious and powerful, but it took a very long time for it to be put into action. At the time it was written, it was made to mean all white men are created equal. Thankfully this has changed. A group that promotes what this statement should mean, is NAACP. NAACP fights for racial equality and has been since the civil rights movement. This statement, although written by the government, has actually commonly been used against the government. From the beginning of the civil rights movement, people have brought the hypocrisy of this statement to the attention of those in power. It came in handy as a strong argument that ultimately brought the success of the civil rights movement.

Why did Loyalists want to remain part of the British Empire?
atroni [7]
The Loyalists were afraid of chaos erupting without the legal institutions of Britain. They also did not want to be separated from the commercial empire that their businesses or plantations depended upon. There was a sense of security in being part of the most powerful nation on earth.

How was it possible for Neanderthal Man and Homo Sapiens to evolve as separate species?
masya89 [10]

Geographic isolation and different living conditions.

Explanation:

Both the Neanderthal and the Homo sapiens shared the same ancestor, the Homo erectus. The Homo erectus managed to spread from Africa to Eurasia. The populations started to become geographically isolated from each other, and over time this caused speciation.

The Homo erectus from the far East, with the one from Europe, or the one from Africa, didn't had contact. This was due to big distance and natural barriers. Gradually this species was evolving, and because of the different living conditions and the geographic isolation at different places it started to develop different characteristics. This has led to evolution of different species over time, with the Neanderthal evolving in Eurasia, as well as the Denisovan Man, while in Africa it was the Homo sapiens that emerged.
