im not asking for you to do my essay, but can you please just give
you thoughts on it and ur opinion.
heres my assignment
Explore the Library of Congress's "Was It Compromise or Hypocrisy?" website. The question is whether or not the phrase "All men are created equal" honestly belonged in the Declaration of Independence, when so many of the signers of this document owned slaves. Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the document, himself owned slaves.
Look over the evidence for both sides presented on the site. Then choose a side, for or against, and write a letter as if you are writing to the letters column of a local newspaper explaining why you do or do not believe Thomas Jefferson was a hypocrite. No matter which side you choose to argue you will have to address and debunk the arguments of the opposite side, so be sure to do your research. Cite any sources you use.
here is the links
