Answer:

Though the declaration said that 'all men are created equal' the rights of the slaves were being violated by the white men.

Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence of the United States was penned by Thomas Jefferson. The declaration of the United States promoted equality in the treaty, yet the slaves were not treated equally and their rights were violated by the white men. Jefferson, himself was a lifelong slaveholder. When the treaty was signed, the issue of slavery in America was prevalent. The founders of the Declaration were not ignorant of this problem. A passage, referring to the problem was included in the Declaration, but was removed. Jefferson asserted that out of political necessity, the passage was removed from the Declaration.
