Why did David Walker write the phrase all men are created equal and they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights?

David Walker, the abolitionist, was quoting Thomas Jefferson, who originally composed that statement for the Declaration of Independence. Obviously, if all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights (including the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) then it is morally unacceptable to enslave people and to deny them their rights. That is the philosophical basis of the abolitionist movement. Note that President Lincoln also quoted this section of the Declaration of Independence in his most famous speech, the Gettysburg Address. It is an extremely important statement and it is fundamental to America.

What does all men are created equal endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights mean?

It means that everyone is created with rights, by our very nature. Inalienable means that the rights are part of us, not something that we can be separated from. Creator refers to God, but even if you don't believe, it still means that we are all born with rights that aren't given to people differently, but we all have them equally.
