Declaring Independence: From a Divided Past to a Divided Present


What did the Declaration of Independence mean to its first readers? Why have individuals and groups attached such different meanings to the document? And how should we interpret the document today? This talk explores changing understandings of the Declaration over time as well as conflicting interpretations at key moments in American history, from the divisions in the age of the American Revolution to our own divided time.


Presented by

Eric Slauter, Associate Professor, Department of English, and Director, The Karla Scherer Center for the Study of American Culture
