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

History

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.

Eddi Din [679]
Nationalism spread across Europe during Napoleon's time. It was repressed for a generation under the Congress of Vienna and the Concert of Europe until the revolutions of 1845/1845. The term "Nationalism" can be defined as a group of people with the same nationality should unite together under a single flag. Napoleon nationalised France and then moved across the rest of Europe, conquering  countries along the way. Eventually, Napolean was defeated and the Congress of Vienna was held by the heads of the European countries. The aim of these meeting was to ensure peace and stability in Europe. The revolutions of 1845/1848 overthrew the repressive European governments of the day.
