Why were women and slaves left out of the Declaration?

I recently covered this subject in history class. John Adams' wife suggested women be in the declaration, but he did not put them in. For a brief time after the declaration of independence was issued women were given the right to vote, but then it was taken away until the 1900's ( you'd have to look up exactly when women got the right to vote again.) The Declaration of Independence states that human beings had unalianable rights and such. While slaves, back then, were not counted as human beings. Slaves were merely a posession. If a " master" killed a slave, it was not murder. Simply because, slaves were not humans to them. Slaves were simply a property. Even after the Emancipation Proclamation, slaves were still being used in some places.

What groups where unrepresented in the Declaration of Independence?

The purpose of the Declaration was not to represent any group, but it was a list of wrongs of the King against the colonies.ANSWER:Whereas the Declaration of Independence states, "All men are created equal." You will not find anything about American Women, the American Indians, or the Slaves.Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of Independence, had placed a passage, that freedom should also be granted to the Black Slaves in America. During the debate on the document, the Southern Delegation was not going to vote for it, unless that passage about freedom of the slaves was removed.They also reminded Jefferson, that he also owned slaves. All of the Representatives of the 13 Colonies had to vote for the Declaration of Independence unanimously, or it would not be adopted.Jefferson had no choice, but to remove the passage. On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress, passed and adopted the Declaration of Independence.
