It should be 100% of all schools.. We should be taught it in Canada too so we can appreciate what forged the movement of freedom seeking citizens from a monarchy to a Constituional Republic where citizens rights matter.

Ignorance is bliss.

Freedom seeking citizens?

[Woodznutz]

Do they teach it line by line, or just skim over it? And do they teach the prophetic implications of the division of the Abrahamic birthright promises; Ephraim (Britain) from Manasseh (America)?

And how do they deal with "nature's God"?

First, it were British Subjects.

The former Colonists did not build an Empire. That came later. The US Constitution was a compromise. It was also built like the rebellion itself on an extra-legal premise.

Your Junior High School understanding of the English/British colonial era in America (what was then meant by America included all of Northern America, and the islands and more) is not worthy of challenging here.

Try renting or buying a few books beyond your educational level.

They need to teach the differences between the Declaration and the Constitution.

Many white people are murderers and rapists. I doubt its printed in the Declaration of Independence.

 

[Dante Reawakened]

not sure what you believe the Declaration had to do with native born subjects vs native born tribes

Thou shalt never say a bad thing about the white man?
Bruise your precious ego?

Does the most famous document in American history really state “all Men are created equal,” then hypocritically proclaim right afterward its first inhabitants are “merciless Indian savages”?
Yes it does.

The DoI suggests that Americans already considered themselves a somewhat sovereign nation, and that Britain was interfering with it.

I am still a British subject in many ways as our system hasn't evolved as intended (and all Canadians were before 1947).

Considering Canada in fact had Brtish subject status in this country until 1947, I find your post vexatious. My understanding is enough to possibly be more informed than many Americans and the vast majority of Canadians. Bottom line, you left for the New Country and fought the Brtish empire, with assistance from their nemesis France: thid allowed you to achieve your Independence. You get into granular details to confuse the issue and try and belittle me? How noble.

[shockedcanadian]

A Constitutional Monarchy and member of the Commonwealth. Also a covert police state in Ontario.
