History

Nadya [2.5K]2 years ago

Answer:

However the Declaration of Independence established nothing regarding slaves or women. That would happen much later

Explanation:

When Jefferson wrote “all men are created equal” in the preamble to the Declaration, he was not talking about individual equality. What he really meant was that the American colonists, as a people, had the same rights of self-government as other peoples, and hence could declare independence, create new governments and assume their “separate and equal station” among other nations.

Women-The Declaration emphasized the need to extend voting rights to women and also covered their property rights, protection in marriage and divorce, and the broadening of employment and educational opportunities

Slavery- He has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither.

Which civilization owes its growth directly to the nile river
Andru [333]
<span>The Ancient Egyptian civilisation owes its growth directly to the Nile river. This is because the Nile deposits silt from the river on the ‘black land’ every year when it floods, making it suitable for agriculture. Otherwise, the only land available is desert.</span>
