The Declaration of Independence

On July 4 newspapers often reprint the Declaration of Independence.  I wonder how many people read it.  I wonder if they catch the clause where Jefferson criticizes the British government for not allowing the colonists to take land from the Indians.  


I am pleased that at least he took out the clause he had thought about putting in the document that the British forced slavery on the colonies.  That would have been a bit too much.
