"No man was ever born to be enslaved, and that is the principle of the Declaration"
Hogwash. Prove it. Show me your sources. Thomas Jefferson certainly never believed that.
Ofcourse that is what he meant and that is what he said, all men are created equal.
All men have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
They are given these rights from the Creator.
So what part of that do you not grasp?
Do you have any writing that states that he or any other Founder felt that the Declaration did not apply to the Negro?
