The issue of slavery was omited from the original Declaration of Independence? That those involved agreed to leave it for another generation to deal with it?

Those who get offended by this will obviously leave insults and slurs revealing their true "colors"

Sure. At that time slavery existed all around the world- from China to the Americas. There were some initiatives from Christians to ban slavery (as they had already achieved it once in the 13-th century) especially in England (eg. a law stating that any slave seting foot on british soil automatically becomes a free man). Nevertheless stealing people into slavery was very common- especially by pirates on the coasts of Europe in the Mediteranean sea (short distances + high demand in the islamic states). Slave trade from black Africa was at that time mostly towards China and the Maghreb

Also, the only people who could vote were landowners and almost all the old documents are written with some kind of sway. I love shows like that.

That doesn't surprise me much. The founders of this great nation were also politicians, thus were not all honest and good. Sad to know but true none the less.

I didn't know that but I suppose they need to clear one problem first before tackling another.
I do know the right of colored people to vote is expiring soon.
