Slavery was not outlawed in the United States by the Declaration of Independence.
One of the most important contributions of <u>Thomas Jefferson</u> to the <u>Declaration of Independence</u> was the phrase and quotation that <em><u>“all men are created equal"</u></em>. There is no doubt that <u>Jefferson</u> was heavily influenced by French philosophers, such as Rousseau, Voltaire, and Montesquieu. In their writings, those philosophers advocated that <em><u>men were born free and equal</u></em>. This later led to the French Revolution of 1789 and the concept of Human Rights. <u>Jefferson</u> may have also borrowed the expression from an Italian friend, Philip Mazzei.
