Years before it has become at least somewhat common for some, today, to mention, I maintained, and still do, that we have a government class which has certainly not acted as if the the proposition that all are equal, or even capable of acting equally, is true.Airball50 wrote:The key element here is that this was slavery on American soil, in a country nominally dedicated to the proposition that all humans are created equal.

Woodrow Wilson What is Progress, 1912.The Declaration of Independence did not mention the questions of our day. It is of no consequence to us unless we can translate its general terms into examples of the present day and substitute them in some vital way for the examples it itself gives, so concrete, so intimately involved in the circumstances of the day in which it was conceived and written. It is an eminently practical document, meant for the use of practical men; not a thesis for philosophers, but a whip for tyrants; not a theory of government, but a program of action.
