have come up with difficult words by themselves
and which have looked them up in a thesaurus.

The Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson
constantly reflects the Deist ideas of human
reason and a Creator God. For example, Jefferson

streams: the original colonials who settled the
new continent and the immigrants who came in
trickles and torrents, bringing their culture with
