History tells us clearly that Thomas Jefferson, himself a slave holder, attempted to insert a clause into the Declaration of Independence opposing slavery but Congress would not agree.
I memorized the Declaration of Independence several years because it's an important document. I usually find a moment to recite it on July 4th. Your summary here was very good. Thank you and Happy Fourth of July!

Correct. I had only so much space in the column. I have an hour’s lecture on the Declaration.

I don’t know if you’re old enough to remember a group called the 5th Dimension, but they sang the preamble. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhevfANM09Q
I certainly am old enough to remember the popular group 5th Dimension. But I never hard this song. Thank you for sending it.
Ironic that we're poised to celebrate the Fourth of July amid growing concerns about who's in charge after the president's awful debate.
Lots of ironies nowadays. 😞
