   Over time, the Declaration of Independence has deeply affected American history. Phrases from the document such as “all men are created equal” quickly took on a life of their own or were applied to groups that the authors never expected. Blacks quickly used this language to challenge slavery in the United Sates. The ideal of equality led Northern states to free slaves in the 1780s,1790s,and early 1800s.Black and white abolitionists(废奴主义者) used the ideal that all men were created equal to attack slavery in the South before the Civil War. And civil fights supporters gathered behind Jefferson's words in their fight against racism in the 1950s and 1960s.In 1848 the delegates(代表) to the Seneca Falls women's fights conference proclaimed that “all men and women are created equal”, and the 20th?century feminist(女权主义者) did the same.?

   Other groups have focused on the document's defence of the right to rebel against an unjust government. The Declaration of Independence had a deep effect on the French Revolution; its influence was strong in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, adopted by the National Assembly of France in 1789.In the 19th century the principles of the declaration were adopted by various Latin American movements fighting for independence from European colonial powers. The declaration influences more recent struggles for national identity(身份):Vietnamese Communist leader HoChi Mink, for example, used the American document as one of the basic principles behind his fight to establish an independent and unified Vietnam.?

   The document itself continues to be an important symbol for the American people. Today, each page of the Declaration of Independence is protected. Over one million Americans view the document each year in Washington, D.C., where it is displayed along with the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights.?
