Just as mankind means all people, the Founders of the U. S. meant men and women when they declared that all men are created equal, thus too indirectly condemning slavery although it was not abolished until eighty year later. Had darwinism been hypothesized and become popular as it is today when the founding documents were written, that all humans are created equal would not have been allowed, for that necessitates the Creator who is anathema to pop and political culture.
