Essential Question Declaration of
Independence Slave Petition for Freedom
122
hen in the Course of human events it becomes
necessary for one people to dissolve the
political bands which have connected them with
another and to assume among the powers of the
earth, the separate and equal station to which
the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle
them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind
requires that they should declare the causes
which impel them to the separation. 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. That to secure these rights,
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the
governed, That whenever any Form of Government
becomes destructive of these ends, it is the
Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,
and to institute new Government, laying its
foundation on such principles and organizing its
powers in such form, as to them shall seem most
likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
The Declaration of Independence, 1776

Stanzas on Freedom" By James Russell Lowell1852
137
Men! whose boast it is that ye Come of fathers
brave and free,
138
If there breathe on earth a slave, Are ye truly
free and brave?
139
If ye do not feel the chain, When it works a
brothers pain,
140
Are ye not base slaves indeed, Slaves unworthy
to be freed?
141
Women! who shall one day bear, Sons to breathe
New England air,
142
If ye hear, without a blush, Deeds to make the
roused blood rush
143
Like red lava through your veins, For your
sisters now in chains
144
Answer! are ye fit to be Mothers of the brave
and free?
145
Is true Freedom but to break Fetters for our
own dear sake,
146
And, with leathern hearts, forget That we owe
mankind a debt?
147
No! true Freedom is to share All the chains
our brothers wear,
148
And, with heart and hand, to be Earnest to make
others free!
149
They are slaves who fear to speak For the
fallen and the weak
150
They are slaves who will not choose Hatred,
scoffing, and abuse,
151
Rather than in silence shrink From the truth
they needs must think
152
They are slaves who dare not be In the right
with two or three.
