Composing America

I believe that this artical about the gettysburg adress and the Decleration of Independence.Both of these documents are very important in history and in our lives. The Decleration of Independence is very important to us because it simply gives us the freedom to life, liberty and persuit of happiness. In the text it said that Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Robert R. Livingston, Ben Franklin, and Roger Sherman were appointed by congress to prepare some Decleration of Independence. I thought it was weird when it had mentioned that only Jefferson had composed the text and the Decleration of Independence was revised by some committee of members before they had presented to congress. After the Decleration was presented there were about thirty nine alterations and additions to which I found was pretty cool. When you look at the Decleration of Independence you would never have thought that so much editing and fixing went into that wonderful historical document, but it did. We all are not perfect and will never write a perfect paper or document the first try we ever write something. It doesn't matter if you are the pope or the president of the United States , we all make mistakes in writing papers. It may be a big grammar mistake or it may be just a simple punctuation error, it doesn't matter I think that this article just goes to show that everyone makes mistakes and nobody is perfect.
