“And they used the Declaration of Independence to convey the moral right for their rebellion. What parts of the Declaration do you find immoral?”

Arguably, referencing slavery as a justification for the Declaration of Independence was immoral.

Where did that happen? I just read the DOI, albeit quickly, and didn’t see the word “slave” or “slavery”. I did a word search of it and it won’t search past “sla”. The search box turns red at “slav”.

Do you mean the words “He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us...” to include slave insurrections? If so, which slave insurrections did “He” excite, and how did he “excite” them so as to provide grounds for the complaint?

You apparently know more about this than I, so give me a convincing argument.
