Here is your Answer the Hope this Helps you:-

The Declaration of Independence states (1776) "that all men are created equal." However, Howard Zinn and some other prominent historians have pointed out that those words were a contradiction to the reality of America at that time. Blacks, women, and Indians were not granted the rights enjoyed by white men.
