In your opinion, what made the Declaration of Independence successful and/or a failure?

   I think that there are different reasons that made the Declaration of Independence, both, successful and a failure.
   I think that what made the Declaration of Independence successful, was the List of Grievances(which is the third part and lists the complaints from people, mainly about the British King), and the Resolution.(Which declares the colonies as independent) Many people were against the British and believed they deserved to have rights, the right to be independent and free from British rule. Even though the Declaration of Independence was partly successful with a lot of people, others were not affected.
   I think that what made the Declaration of Independence a failure was the Loyalists, or Americans who fought side by side with the British. Loyalists believed that the British King was their protector and also thought that British laws should be upheld.
   In conclusion, there are various reasons that make the Declaration of Independence successful and unsuccessful.
