A propos de cet article

Hardcover. The Declaration of Independence is among the most quoted documents in history, particularly its assertion that "all men are created equal" with the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." But where did these "self-evident" ideas come from? How have Americans and others around the world understood them? How can we understand them today?The Declaration of Independence is one of the world's mostimportant historical documents. It has been lauded by generations of historians as "American scripture" and the "American version of the Magna Carta," but the Declaration began its life as a press release, intended toserve an immediate purpose, after which it was stored with no special care alongside the rest of the records of the Continental Congress. Its creators could not have anticipated that it would become one of the most iconic symbols of the Revolution they were waging and the nation they were building.During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, however, the Declaration would begin to assume its place in the mythos and civic religion of the United States. It providedAmericans with a shared political language that would shape how subsequent generations understood the Revolution and the politics of their own times. Liberty, equality, and the pursuit of happiness becamekeywords in American politics, and each generation has redefined those terms and, by extension, the Declaration.In this book, historian Michael D. Hattem offers a fresh history of the Declaration of Independence. He moves beyond how it was written and approved by Congress to tell a story that spans a quarter of a millennium and features a cast of countless individuals and groups from around the world who dared to realize the Declaration's ideals more fully than therevolutionary generation could ever have imagined. He shows how the Declaration has reflected many of the inherent contradictions at the heart of the American experiment and has been used equally byliberal and conservative political movements to achieve their different political aims. The result is a compelling story of the Declaration's origins and the creation of its legacy over the past two hundred and fifty years. Michael D. Hattem offers a compelling story of the political moment in which the Declaration of Independence was created and its legacy over the past two hundred and fifty years.
