All Men Created Equal?Block 1
Justification for the phrase
He owbed slaves. But he didnt consider slaves as men.
Can't justify that it applied to white men that owned land.
Women couildn't own land. Weren't treated equally either.
Ethical Considerations
Immoral presently with our ideas of equality
Jefferson probably thought it was mioral
They belioeved that men were stonger than women so they centered around men. Men do important things. Moral considerations revoled around men.
What does Equality mean today?
Racial Equality
Labor equality--- working class (equal pay)
Sexuality and Religion-- All celebrated and acknowledge
Social Class
Immigration Status
Still DEBATED TODAY!
Equality is an image! We knew how everybody would react
All men are CREATED equal but not TREATED equal
Jefferson's intended purpose of the phrase
Sound equal
Truly meant that all white men were treated equal. Excluded and indians and women.
We still use this phrase bc it's our culture.
Idea of the American Dream. Holds those values
Civil Rights changed the interpretation. transforming the to all men and women created equal.
