The 4th of July celebrates the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which states in it's opening lines "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." What does the 4th of July mean to slaves? To former slaves? This is spoken almost 100 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, present your thoughts on how well the U. S. Is doing to uphold these truths.

Answer and Explanation:

The declaration of independence did not mean anything to slaves and ex-slaves as both could not take advantage of the inalienable rights that it established. Slaves were not freed through it and continued to be exploited by whites. Former slaves were not accepted into society and were viewed with great prejudice and racism, with their rights and freedoms denied.

Although it seems that this has changed today, we cannot fail to affirm that the black population of the country still does not have full access to the inalienable rights so defended in the constitution. This is because the American government has failed not only to establish a government that is, in fact, egalitarian, but it has also failed to combat racism rooted in society.
