The Declaration of Independece, may be the most important part of  American literature in, not only the Encounter and Foundation Era, but all of history. It shows the motives and expressions of the Colonists who once, signed that document, declared freedom of British rule. Without this one document, the world would have never been what it is today.

Well I'm currently on the search for useful web-sites to go with my research topic, it's not as easy as I thought it would be or either I'm thinking too hard. I can find out all about the history of that era, and some literature but not really what answers my questions. Everything's working fine, I had a little isseus with Animoto but I think that was more of a computer problem, but it's all good now. Just got to get the research part done, the tech stuffs working all out for me; much better than taking notes in the book.
