Explanation:

As an anti - slavery activist in the 1800s, the goal is to show that treating enslaved people unfairly is wrong. The phrase "We hold these truths to be self - evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights..." is very relevant. The idea that all men are created equal directly challenges the unfair treatment of enslaved people, and the concept of unalienable rights implies that the rights of enslaved people (like freedom and fair treatment) cannot be taken away, which supports the argument against slavery.

Answer:

We hold these truths to be self - evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights...
