To: fortheDeclaration
The South did not support self-government for the Negro, because they did not believe in the key principle of the Declaration that makes self-government a right, the fact that God has given all men the right to life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness.MOST of the entire world, Africa included, held slaves. The United States of America - including the Yankee states, held slaves. The first congress' limited naturalization to whites. God had Joseph enslaved, and millions of HIS chosen people - do you condemn HIM?

Ah, the real South arises!
What happened to Joseph was evil, but God allowed it so good could arise.
There are alot of things that God has allowed due to man's wickedness, divorce being one example.
No man was ever born to be enslaved, and that is the principle of the Declaration.

God had Joseph enslaved, and millions of HIS chosen people - do you condemn HIM? As for the bondage of the Jewish people, God used that to grow them and then God freed them.
It was Pharoah who wanted to keep the slaves, just like the Confederates, do you defend him?
