considered a Propaganda document!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Propaganda means to change people's minds!. Jefferson wanted to change the minds of Americans that either wanted to stay English or wanted to stay neutral!. He wanted people on the patriot side!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, many people have said that but how can that be when the first sentences of the document and their statement of political ideals have remained the Declaration's most memorable and influential section!. Among these sentences are the following:
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!.
Enough said, don't you think !?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Most people don't consider it a propaganda document though I could understand if some people were of the opinion that it was political propaganda since it was laying out a case for a political movement!. Of course by that definition just about everything written becomes propaganda of some form!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
