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

That would be the statement about slavery.

In the first draft of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson wrote a lengthy part about the evils of slavery.  In the paragraph that was later left out Jefferson is actually blaming the king for the issue of slavery. We see here that it is seen that slavery is the sin committed by Britain. The exclusion of this paragraph tells us that slavery was an issue even when the United States were deciding to fight for their independence.

Answer:

Hello. You have not shown the answer options, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered accurately. However, we can affirm that a good counterclaim would be one that showed that the campaign for the female suffrage started long before the defaced penny and that it was disrespectful to disfigure the king's face in the coin, since the female suffrage also cried out for respect.

Explanation:

A counterclaim is an argument that wishes to combat the opposite argument, stated earlier, showing arguments that prove that the previously stated claim is incorrect and / or incomplete, not providing true facts, but proving to be questionable and contradictory.

However, Counterclaim must present facts that show that it is correct and that it is relevant to the debate in question.

How did the central powers and the allies try to break the deadlock caused by trench warfare?
Oduvanchick [21]

They started more war fronts and then tried Ariel attacks.

Explanation:

The trenches were an invention during the time of the first world war when the soldiers began to dig into the fields and fight from them instead of open pitched battle which was common in the time.

The trenches were thus marked as the end of the fast paced war as both forces had defensive portions on the turf.

This was to be worked around by using more war fronts to surround and bypass the trenches as well as ways to mount the other trenches and overtake them.
