The Declaration of Independence

We're reading an original draft of the Declaration of Independence by Thomas Jefferson in American Literature class. The Declaration of Independence is a document that needed to be sign by all thirteen colonies to break away from British.
In the beginning of the declaration, Jefferson stated that all men are created equal. We mention all men are created equal whenever is to abolish the slavery, racial segregation, or upraise the female position. However, the declaration deleted the part of slavery under the resistance of southern colonies. This part is the most important in the declaration which really stress on the life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Declaration of Independence became the most successful argumentative essay.
