Yes, and it was the howls from some of the slave owners that stopped the passage from going into the Declaration.
And the point is, THE PASSAGE DID NOT GO INTO THE DECLARATION, nullifying the point that you guys always try to use the Declaration to make: that the Founders wanted slavery dead, dead, dead, and that they wrote the Declaration to reflect that desire.
And thanks for the evidence.
No, they did not. Period. End of statement. End of argument. You're wrong. Dead wrong. Over and out.
