__Important Documents__

The very foundation of history rests on documents (diaries, declarations, letters, laws, speeches, books, etc.) and America is especially reliant upon documents for the study of its history. The important men and women who founded and shaped our nation left behind a plethora of resources that we can study and reflect upon in our quest to "form a more perfect union." Below are several links to important documents such as the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Marshall Plan, the Gettysburg Address, and many more.
