Removal of Anti-Slavery Passage from Declaration of Independence
Removal of Anti-Slavery Passage from Declaration of Independence

A passage in the Declaration of Independence authored by Thomas Jefferson that condemned the slave trade was removed due to pressure from southern colonies [6]. The controversial passage criticized the British crown for allowing slavery while denying freedom to colonists [6]. This removal demonstrated the political compromise that prioritized southern economic interests over anti-slavery principles.
