Original Note:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal" is a grossly hypocritical statement given that many of the Founding Fathers were slaveowners and retained ownership of slaves long after British forces withdrew. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Declaration_of_Independence https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/founding-fathers-and-slaveholders-72262393/
