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.
