Language condemning the slave trade was removed. In the original draft of the Declaration of Independence of 1776, Thomas Jefferson wrote a passage where he condemned slavery, and caused great controversy among the delegates. Jefferson saids that he was fought a bloody war for the liberty of the Colonies, and he tought that people shoudn't be trade or slavished by other people, and he call to people to give freedom to all the slaves in the new country. This caused great controversy among the delegates and finally, this part of the original Declaration of Independence was suppressed and replaced with a strange passage of the King George.
