Did the declaration of independence have a consistent message about the practice of slavery in America?

No. It was an open letter to the king telling him of the problems the colonies were having with the government and why they were declaring independence. Slavery wasn't an issue. Most of the founders of the United States were slave owners and the only time slaves became an issue was when they were trying to decide if they counted as part of the population to determine the number of Representatives for each state. Many of the New England states had all ready stopped legal slavery within their colonies by the mid 1700's, and it was only the southern colonies who were concerned about keeping slavery legal.

Why was slavery accepted in the colonies?

Slavery was accepted in the colonies primarily for economic reasons, as it provided a cheap source of labor for plantations and agricultural work. Additionally, there were existing racial prejudices that dehumanized African slaves and justified their enslavement in the eyes of many colonists. The legal and social structures of the time also supported and perpetuated the institution of slavery.


What was the context of the slavery passage that was deleted from the declaration of independence?

Among the many sections removed or rewritten was an antislavery passage, in which Jefferson was condemning both slavery and the plan by the British to free slaves to fight against the rebel colonists. The authors were concerned about how this might be perceived by the Southern colonies where slavery was still legal. They feared that this might damage the solidarity of the colonies in their quest for independence. The same justification applies to the US Constitution in 1787, which deferred any federal action on abolition for 20 years.

Did slavery start in the southern colonies of north America give reason to your answer?

Slavery began thousands of years ago. It was so widespread that it is now impossible to tell where it began. In the New World, slavery began with the Spanish who enslaved native peoples to work in the mines and in the fields. When too many of them died of disease and overwork, Spaniards imported slaves from Africa. Slavery was pervasive in Europe during the period when the North American colonies were formed. It was not outlawed in England and its colonies until the 1830s.
