Yes the Declaration of Independence lead to the Civil War because the sentiments said all men are equal...not women. Also not all men were equal. Slaves were treated like dogs and there were many debates on this; which includes the Compromise of 1850.

No, the Declaration of Independence declared that we were an independent country/ independent colonies. It was written after the Revolutionary War, at least 100 years before the U.S. Civil War.

What did the Declaration of Independence mean to African Americans?

It meant freedom from slavery, but not from criticism. That is soo unbelievably wrong!!!! The Declaration did not free slaves at all!!!! All it was, was the colonies declaring their independence from Britain! Slaves were not freed until the North won the Civil War! The Civil War ended approximatley 100 years after the Declaration of Independence was signed.
