In the Declaration of Independence, there are a few references that can be seen as American. Firstly, the document addresses the "American people" when it states, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." This phrase indicates that the document is intended to represent the ideals and aspirations of the American people at that time.
Regarding the attitudes toward Native Americans expressed in the Declaration of Independence, it does not directly address them. However, it is important to note that Native Americans were not included within the concept of "all men" in the document. The Declaration of Independence primarily focuses on the grievances against British rule and the pursuit of independence from Britain, rather than addressing relations with Native Americans.
To understand the attitudes toward Native Americans during that period, it is necessary to look beyond the Declaration of Independence. Historically, Native Americans faced widespread mistreatment, displacement, and violence at the hands of European settlers as they expanded westward. Numerous conflicts and broken treaties characterized the relationship between Native Americans and the new American government. These actions reflected the prevailing attitudes of many at that time, which viewed Native Americans as obstacles to expansion and colonization, rather than as equal participants in society.
