The Slavery IssueJefferson’s original draft of the declaration charged King George with violating the “sacred rights of life and liberty… of a distant people carrying them into slavery.”
North SouthWorried New England merchants (who benefitted from slavery) would be offended.
Felt it unfair to blame the king for all of slavery.
Feared it might lead to demands to free the slaves.
Southern farms depended on slave labor.
The passage was removed. Slaves would have to wait 87 more years for emancipation.
