Where the founding fathers against or for slavery?
I think it depends on where the Founding Father is from. Some are from the southern states where slavery is a main part of money. Some are from the North where people strongly oppose slavery since they are all people in a way. Most of them were against slavery; however, a couple were very vehement about keeping slavery in the Declaration of Independence.
Which was not a part of the declaration of independence?
It didn't discuss the issue of slavery.
What rights expressed in the Declaration of Independence most affected how people viewed slavery after the Revolutionary War?
For anti-slavery abolitionists, the Declaration of Independence was the source of their belief that because all men are created equal, by God, that slavery was an immoral institution. This document rather than the US Constitution was what their ideas relied upon.
What document changed the way Americans viewed slavery?
the Declaration of Independence.
What controversial issue was mentioned in the Declaration of Independence that was omitted from the final draft?
slavery. Jefferson thought that slaves should be set free and slavery was morally wrong. However, the delegates from the southern states would not sign the declaration unless the clause on slavery was removed. Eventually, Jefferson conceded and it was removed.
