Pardon me, but I think you are trying to put your shoe on my foot. It is *YOU* who is claiming the purpose of the Declaration was to abolish slavery. I merely pointed out that this is absolutely incorrect, and the purpose of that document was to assert the right of Independence from a larger Union.
You are the one dispensing with the principles upon which the Declaration was founded. You take five words from the document, and you apparently regard the meat of the document as window dressing.
Sorry, but you missed the fact that the Declaration’s purpose was to lay out the moral case for Independence.
Actually, you didn’t miss it. You simply choose to ignore it, which means you throw out the foundations of the American claim to self-government in liberty.
