>>How could the first nation on earth to declare "all men are created equal" abide human slavery within it's borders?<<

That was in the Decl of Independence. It was a statement by Thom. Jefferson and those who signed it and agreed with it.

It was not part of our laws. Blacks and women were obviously not part of their definition of "men".

This is still a goal of this nation, IMO.
