What statement was of an initial draft of the Declaration of Independence, but not part of the final version

Answer:  A statement against the evil of the slave trade.

Details:

In his original draft of the Declaration, Jefferson condemned the slave trade carried on by the British.  (Yes, Jefferson himself owned slaves he had inherited, but saw an eventual emancipation of slaves as something that would need to be done over time.)  The paragraph in the draft of the Declaration said that the King of England "has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty" by capturing, transporting and selling human beings from the distant land of Africa.  He called the "market where men should be bought and sold" an "execrable commerce" carried on by authority of the British crown.  ("Execrable" is an adjective related to excrement -- something extremely nasty.)  

Georgia and South Carolina would not join in voting for independence from Britain unless the paragraph about the evil of the slave trade was omitted, and so it was omitted from the final version.

Why did the Russian provisional government keep Russian troops involved in work war i after the Russian revolution of 1917
Rasek [7]

The Provisional Government chose to keep Russian troops involved in WW1 after the Russian revolution (1917) because, having made promises to its allies in 1914, believed they should honor them.

This resolution ultimately proved fatal. In June 1917, the Provisional Government ordered an attack on Austria, which failed. After that, people started to turn against the government. By the end of July 1917, the Provisional Government was almost powerless.
