Also Promises of Establishing Justice and Consent of the Governed. 
But the Declaration did not extend “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” to African Americans, Native Americans, and women. This is one of the reasons the Declaration of Independence failed because these promises were unfair to those people. African Americans, Native Americans, and women weren't promised these "Promises".

They couldn't work, they couldn't vote, they really just helped with the family. Spreading love and affection was pretty much their only job.  They didn't have rights as a married woman, giving all men power in a divorce. Men took all women's rights in a property, even the wages she earns.  ]]> 2022-09-23 17:33:12 UTC https://padlet.com/allison_saltzwadel/q5qizdk4lfi15w5w/wish/2310867136 What happpend? allison_saltzwadel https://padlet.com/allison_saltzwadel/q5qizdk4lfi15w5w/wish/2310875014 The women wanted a change and felt like they had no rights, which never went along with the Declaration of Independence. Abigail Adams said, "We are determined to foment a Rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice or Representation"(founders.archives.gov). The Declaration of Independence never stated women had rights. I just talked about how men could do this, not she/her can. This demonstrates that the Declaration of Independence failed because it doesn't Promise "Establish Justice or Pursuit of Happiness" to women. Women were not happy they wanted a voice that they couldn't have and were not equal to everyone.]]> 2022-09-23 17:39:00 UTC https://padlet.com/allison_saltzwadel/q5qizdk4lfi15w5w/wish/2310875014 How This Connects allison_saltzwadel https://padlet.com/allison_saltzwadel/q5qizdk4lfi15w5w/wish/2310901131 The Declaration of Independence failed to keep its promise of  "Establish Justice or Pursuit of Happiness" for women. Women were not happy they wanted a voice that they couldn't have and were not equal to everyone. This gives a great demonstration of women were thought of as nothing less than just spreading love. The Declaration of Independence failed to show the freedom of meaning of rights. ]]> 2022-09-23 17:58:20 UTC https://padlet.com/allison_saltzwadel/q5qizdk4lfi15w5w/wish/2310901131 Native Americans allison_saltzwadel https://padlet.com/allison_saltzwadel/q5qizdk4lfi15w5w/wish/2319763601 Native Americans are known as the people that came before us. There has always been conflict between new people and Native Americans. The Native people efforts to say about the imbalance of power in the United States is that Indians property, rights and liberty should never be disturbed or invaded. The Native Americans wanted there land never to be taken from them without their consent. There was always conflict between violence and trust to land and territory.

He pushed a new piece of legislation called the "Indian Removal Act" through both houses of Congress. It gave President Andrew Jackson the power of removing treaties with Indian tribes living east of the Mississippi. "By 1837, the Jackson administration had removed 46,000 Native American people from their land east of the Mississippi and had secured treaties which led to the removal of a slightly larger number. Most members of the five southeastern nations had been relocated west, opening 25 million acres of land to white settlement and to slavery"(pbs.org). This shows that the Declaration of Independence failed because it wasn't fair to the Native Americans that their land was being taken away for white settlement. This doesn't show the promises of "all men are created equal" and "The Pursuit of Happiness because the natives weren't happy or weren't equal because their land was taken from other people making the Declaration of Independence fail.

It was good to learn both good and bad things about our country otherwise we would be missing a lot of information and have questions. The Declaration of Independence is a big part of history and it always will be. The rights that we now have is really all true because it is clear The Declaration of Independence was unfair and failed in many ways. ]]> 2022-09-29 17:09:11 UTC https://padlet.com/allison_saltzwadel/q5qizdk4lfi15w5w/wish/2319798592 African Americans allison_saltzwadel https://padlet.com/allison_saltzwadel/q5qizdk4lfi15w5w/wish/2319803387 2022-09-29 17:12:16 UTC https://padlet.com/allison_saltzwadel/q5qizdk4lfi15w5w/wish/2319803387 Slavery allison_saltzwadel https://padlet.com/allison_saltzwadel/q5qizdk4lfi15w5w/wish/2319812370 Everyone knows slaves where treated very poorly, they had nothing. People treated slaves like free workers and labors nothing else. They had no right to do anything but work. Salves where the least powered people in the nation.

These rules really showed how African Americans had no control over what they could say or do, and how their rights didn't really matter. Some examples of slave codes where if someone teaches a slave how to read or write will be imprisoned for no less than one month or more than 12 months. Another example is no slave can own anything of his own without the consent of his master.

"The new law simply set out to enforce the U.S. Constitution, specifically Article IV, Section 2, Clause 3, which declared that slaves did not become free simply by escaping to a free state and thus stipulated their return to their lawful masters" (time.com). This explains that the US Constitution failed because they didn't follow the promises of "all men are equal" and “Pursuit of Happiness” because salves couldn't be free without returning to their masters which did not make all men equal or everyone happy.

Also, African Americans didn't have any "Pursuit of Happiness" due to slave codes, the Dred Scott Decision, and the Brutality of Slavery. Slavery was a big problem, it was to protect those who live here to have rights freedom and peace but that was wrong. This all connects to show the Declaration of Independence and the U.S Constitution failed.

"The language in the Declaration of Independence that includes the phrase, "all men are created equal," Taney reasoned that "it is too clear for dispute, that the enslaved African race were not intended to be included"(pbs.org). This exemplifies that the declaration of Independence failed because the promise of "all men are created equal" didn't apply to African Americans making it unfair. ]]> 2022-10-03 23:48:15 UTC https://padlet.com/allison_saltzwadel/q5qizdk4lfi15w5w/wish/2324694590 Overall allison_saltzwadel https://padlet.com/allison_saltzwadel/q5qizdk4lfi15w5w/wish/2326175857 In conclusion, the Declaration of Independence and the U.S Constitution failed in many ways during the time of 1776-1860. African Americans, Women's Rights, and Native Americans are all topics that connect to why the Declaration of Independence failed. All these people African Americans, Native Americans, and women weren't promised these "Promises" making the Declaration of Independence fail. ]]> 2022-10-04 17:28:35 UTC https://padlet.com/allison_saltzwadel/q5qizdk4lfi15w5w/wish/2326175857
