- W2087811395 abstract "J. R. Pole. The Pursuit of Equality in American History. Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1978. 380 + xv pp. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These are the most familiar words in American history and unquestionably among the most fateful ever written in the western world. For their felicity and commitment they have inspired universal admiration by Americans, who have given them near scriptural reverence, and by those non-Americans who have pursued visions of social justice in a world of injustices. It is a consum- mate irony, therefore, that this ringing sentence, which is absolutely central to the American experience and so inspirational to the dispossessed of the world, should remain undefined two centuries after it became the manifesto of the first large-scale revolution in modern history. All shades of the American political spectrum claim it as their own, and not infrequently, conservatives, liberals and socialists fighting one another to gain control of revolutionary movements in emerging nations each attach it to their banner.1 It is doubtful if any author, including one as visionary as Thomas Jefferson, could have foreseen an impact as significant as this, but the words were not cheap rhetoric meant only to move an aspiring nation to fight a war; they contained a commitment, undefined to those who adopted the Declaration of Inde- pendence and have lived for two centuries in the nation it created, unrealized to those who identify themselves as reformers or who view life from the under- side of society, but undeniable to those who study American history." @default.
