At the time that The Declaration of Independence was Written, the phrase “all men are created equal” refers to white men. At the time, black men and women did not have rights.
Hope this helps :)
The British was able to win the Seven Years wars through;
• Proper leadership through William Pitt who invested heavily in the war by increasing his control on North America. Louis XV of France was more occupied with his wife and court proceedings that diverted his attention on the colonies.
• Application of a different global strategy-William Pitt invested more money and resources in the conflict in the colonies.
• There was collaboration with authorities-Local authorities were granted control over supplies and recruitment of soldiers.
• British were having a better navy and controlled most of the harbors.
• The British had large numbers of soldiers and better resources.
