[edit] Democracy in the United States

Democracy in the United States (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Badly-summarised essay which is actually entirely about the Declaration of Independence, which already has an article. The only information it adds are unsourced claims about certain details being "generally acknowledged". McGeddon (talk) 09:02, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

• Merge -- I propose we merge some of this article to the Declaration of Independence. The portion being merged explains Lincoln's understanding of the phrase "all men are created equal".Bphagan (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 18:32, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
