Which statement was in an early draft of the Declaration of Independence but not in the final version

History

A statement against the slave trade.

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.

How did King Phillip cause the Great Schism?
Gnesinka [82]

Best answer:  by disagreeing with the pope

There had been much struggle between Pope Boniface VIII and the French king, Philip IV, over control of the church in France.  Philip actually sent men to rough up Boniface during that time.  After Boniface's death and then a papacy of less than a year by Benedict XI, pressure from France resulted in the electing of a French cardinal as Pope Clement V, in 1305.  Clement moved the office of the papacy from Rome to Avignon, which was in Holy Roman Empire territory but near the border of France.  The papal offices stayed in Avignon, under French domination, from 1309 to 1376, with seven popes total governing the church from there.

Gregory XI, the last French pope, returned the offices of the papacy to Rome in 1377.  When Gregory XI died in 1378, an Italian again was elected to be pope – Urban VI.  But very quickly many cardinals (especially the French) regretted the election of Urban VI.  The French cardinals put forth their own rival pope, Clement VII, later in 1378.  This began the Great Schism, also known as the Western Schism or Papal Schism. There were competing popes claiming the authority of that office and the allegiance of Catholics in Europe.  The split in the papacy lasted till 1417.
