Yes, the Declaration of Independence is considered a documentary source. This type of source is a type of record that were generated by an individual or group that details what was going on in their lives.
It meant freedom from slavery, but not from criticism. That is soo unbelievably wrong!!!! The Declaration did not free slaves at all!!!! All it was, was the colonies declaring their independence from Britain! Slaves were not freed until the North won the Civil War! The Civil War ended approximatley 100 years after the Declaration of Independence was signed. According to my highly intelligent history teacher, (whom I just questioned about this matter) the Declaration of Independence did not change Slave's lives what so ever.
The Declaration of Independence changed some aspects of everyone's lives. The successful drive for independence gave Americans the right to vote for leaders, the right to choose a religion without government interference, the right to own property and businesses, and the right to a trial by jury if accused of a crime. These were tremendous changes from the British system. For many people, though, the Declaration actually meant very little for a very long time. The Declaration meant that slaves would continue in bondage (England banned slavery long before America did so). The Declaration did little for the rights of women.
The mayflower because their lives were in his hands
