The Declaration of Independence was written before the publishing of Kant's Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals. Given such a fact, as well as the difficulty in translating works and having those works reach the colonies, it is hard to imagine that any influence could have been evident in the Declaration.

There most likely wasn't a Declaration of Independence; just a war to remove France. But if there was a document depicting such a "declaration..."; then the Geneva Agreement signed in 1954/55 (ending the 1st Indochina War/aka French Indochina War) was it.
The document you're referring to is the Declaration of Independence, primarily authored by Thomas Jefferson in 1776. It outlines the colonists' grievances against King George III and articulates their philosophical justification for seeking independence, emphasizing concepts of individual rights and government by consent. The Declaration served as a formal announcement of the colonies' break from British rule, asserting their right to self-governance.

He clearly did not support the equality of people of African descent (even though, ironically, this quote from the Declaration of Independence was later used very effectively to support the concept of racial equality).
no, but he helped in on arguing for one he provided the colonists with a completely new outlook toward independence from Britain. Paine pushed for complete independence which then lead to the Revolution. He was a British born writer who had recently moved to the colonies to pursue writing. He published many newspaper articles and wrote books, such as, Rights of Man, written in 1791, it emphasized that rights could not be implied by a charter, because the charter meant that these rights could be revoked and reduce priveleges.
