Declaration of Independence - Successful or Failure .... ?

The Declaration of Independence is one of the most important documents in American history. The Declaration’s historical significance is of great importance for the United States of America. It was of great importance thanks to its success. I believe the Declaration of Independence was successful because the Declaration announced the Americans decision to become independent and be free from British ruling. It states that a government exists for the benefit of the people and to protect their rights. It also states that "all men are created equally." Furthermore, it explained the reasons why the Americans wanted to separate from the crown.

Quote By: Lucy Flucker Knox

"I hope you will not consider yourself as commander in chief of your own house, but be convinced, that there is such a thing as equal command" 

To me it means that one person shouldn't be in charge but everyone should work togheter. There shouldn't be a leader, everyone should be equal. So I agree with her quote .

Feelings, Tthoughts, Opinions about my groups proposals on Colombus Day ?

I agree with  my groups proposals for Colombus day. I feel as though Colombus Day should be celebrated because if it wasn't for him we would be here right about now & he was the one who started the Columbian exchange, without it we wouldn’t have all these goods. Such as plants, animals, and culture & Columbus day was in American tradition for years, so why stop celebrating it ?  But I think we should celebrate Columbus Day as a different holiday. After the class prezi i thought about it, i thought that we should be celebrating the founding of America.
