All Men Created Equal America has undergone incredible hardships as a nation. No issue has had more impact on the development of the American definition of freedom than the issue of slavery. Did the Constitution specify which men were created equal? Surprisingly enough the phrase "all men are created equal with certain inalienable rights" did not mean what it does today.

If there is one thing we know about mankind‚ it is that there is no force more powerful than that of human will. Regardless of age‚ sex‚ or race; mankind defines its true character through the adversity it faces on all accounts of a lifetime. Very little can be said about what mankind cannot do‚ because no man on earth truly has the authority to do so. Sadly enough‚ those types of people always have and continue to exist.
