Conflicts on the Declaration of Independence

The Declaration of Independence is widely misinterpreted. Historians like Bancroft tend to write about how it was a great stride for mankind, separating ourselves from Britain and their unfair obligations. He, and others, wrote about the "sophisticated philosophies" about our natural rights and happiness. What people don't realize, is that the document is not much more than a brilliantly worded piece propaganda. <Tab/>Thomas Jefferson managed to justify the 'Founding Fathers' …

…that they reacted negatively. A reaction that was not expected by the king. <Tab/>Finally, the Declaration of Independence is one of the most misinterpreted document in history. Few people understand the greed, confusion, fear, and frustration that motivated it. Or even the excuses and behaviors tied directly in it. Few actual facts are commonly known, or at least correctly. This piece of propaganda has been played very well by politicians.
