Equality and human rights at home

Explanation:

The enslaved African Americans drafted many petitions to fight for their rights. They demanded equality and human rights to be given in their own home land. They used their petitions to beg for mercy and liberation.

The founding fathers were a committee of five who drafted the Declaration of Independence. The Whites always wanted the African Americans to be separated from their community. Petitioning for freedom continuously caused a stir so that their plea for freedom was finally heard.
