When those men looked out at their fields full of enslaved people,
and said, we are all created equal, they were writing out of we, all the people that didn't look like them, didn't sound like them, didn't have the same kind of money they did, and by getting rid of the vast majority of humanity, women, people of color, black Americans, and so on, they could say, oh yeah, we're all created equal.
