The choice was stick to the principle of no slavery and never form a country or give up on that principle for the time being to establish a United States, free from Britian.

There were NO other choices whatsoever? Really?

Even a frigging cook can see some other options.

Try again.

That’s what they did. The southern states refused to sign the declaration when it included Britian’s importating their slave trade as on ef the colonies’ grievances. So out it went.
