The Declaration of Independence

As far as a piece of writing that defines Freedom goes, The Declaration of Independence is by far the best example out there. As many of us know, the Declaration of Independence was a point in history in which The United States finally broke away from England’s rule and became known as independent. The entire essay boasts the necessity for freedom and how important it is in making a step forward in history. Jefferson constantly attacks his readers by starting sentences with words such as, “He.” A line however, that I feel describes the entire piece is, “They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.” This I found to be a very powerful statement as it describes how we have been crying out to England to release us, and now that the time has finally come, we will indeed make our separation by any means necessary. We realize that we will still be enemies in many issues to come, but we will never be anything other than humans who all seek the same justice. As far as a piece of writing that defines Freedom goes, The Declaration of Independence is by far the best example out there.
