On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress adopted the
Declaration of Independence, The Declaration of independence was
an astonishing radical document, despite its shortcomings,
America was founded on the radical idea that all men are created
equal, The Civil War tested whether the nation was dedicated to
the idea that all men are created equal, The US endured and
Americans began to expand the idea of equality to include Black
men, men of color, and women, We are facing a rebellion against
our founding principle today, Lincoln’s reminder that "this
nation shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of
the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from
the earth" are words to live by in 2026.
