The Declaration of Independence is widely misinterpreted. Historians like Bancroft tend to write about how it was a great stride for mankind, separating ourselves from Britain and their unfair obligations. He, and others, wrote about the "sophisticated philosophies" about our natural rights and happiness.

This piece of propaganda has been played very well by politicians.
