IMPROVED ANSWER

The question is historically incorrect. The Declaration of Independence had nothing to do with freeing black people. That was the 13th amendment (and Emancipation Proclamation) of the Constitution. The Declaration of Independence was a list of grievances written to the King of England stating the reasons why the 13 colonies wanted to separate from England. This document was written way before people were even thinking about releasing the slaves.
