In 'Animal Farm' British 1940s author George Orwell puts forward the idea of All men are created Equal, but some are more Equal than others. He makes the point very well using farm animals to illustrate how different types of people react to certain different social factors. Equality is a very noble concept, but human interaction is based on the self evident truth that we are all different and have different ways of expression & different needs and aspirations. And as much as I may want us all to finish the race of life in line abreast holding hands & smiling at each other I know full well it ain't going to happen. But that doesn't mean I have a desire to tie my neighbours shoelaces together ! Oh, and it is a very long time since I read 'Animal Farm', I'll put it high on my books to re read list.... NB: the following appears as an epigraph to the comic novel Cheerful Craft by R. Andom (Walter Barrett), first published by Stanley Paul & Co. in 1913, long before Orwell: "All men are equal: but some are more so than others". Although the wording is slightly different, the message (or joke) is the same. Perhaps Orwell had read Andom....?
Thomas Jefferson, and Martin Luther King Jr. said that, "All men are created equal." :)
Because all white property owners were created equal.

The President that first said all men are created equal was Thomas Jefferson. He was the third president of the United States.

That quote is from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, where he stated "that all men are created equal."
Marx. He said, Religion Is Demotic Opium. He believed that all men are not created equal, and he said, we fight for equal rights. History is made by people, the equal rights were earned! Think back to the history, when Declaration of Independence mentioned that "all men are created equal" Why did America still have black slaves? Segregation? The true is like what Marx said, fight for our rights to be equal, earn it!
Yes, the world forgot on what Abraham Lincoln had said and the slave would some day be free which now they are and all people would be created equal and everybody is created equal now.
It said in the Declaration of Independence that all men would be created equal, but that wasnt the case, women and slaves were not created equal as the men.
