The Abolitionist Position: Core Concepts Resource Type: Primary Source The Declaration of Independence. Engraving of the original document (1823). The American Revolution and Its Legacy Resource Type: Document-Based Question In exploring the radical and conservative aspects of the American Revolution, these documents introduce students to the principles of equality and republicanism and the arguments for independence from Great Britain (via the Declaration of Independence and Thomas Paine's Common Sense). The Declaration of Independence Resource Type: Primary Source In the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress asserted American independence from Britain and justified its decision to do so by citing a series of alleged violations of American rights. The American Revolution and Slavery Resource Type: Document-Based Question The revolutionary era (1775–89) gave birth to contradictory definitions of freedom and equality. For some, freedom and equality entailed the right to property, including slave property. For others, freedom and equality implied universal entitlements that applied to all individuals, including slaves. This DBQ offers students the opportunity to debate these contradictory definitions by analyzing the definition of freedom each author uses in the provided documents. | |
