Thomas Jefferson objected to leaving out a criticism of the British slave trade from the Declaration of Independence. In his original draft, he included a passage condemning the British monarchy for perpetuating the slave trade, which he viewed as a moral injustice. However, this section was ultimately removed due to opposition from delegates, particularly from southern states that benefited from slavery. Jefferson's frustration reflected his complex views on slavery and its implications for American freedom.
The Compromise of 1820, also known as the Missouri Compromise, did not abolish the slave trade in Columbia (District of Columbia). Instead, it allowed for the continuation of slavery in Missouri while prohibiting it in the northern part of the Louisiana Territory. However, the compromise included a provision that banned the slave trade in the District of Columbia, though slavery itself was still permitted.

There was no slave ship captain that signed the Declaration of Independence. The document had nothing to do with slavery and IF there had been a captain who ran a slave ship it wouldn’t have made any difference. Jefferson owned slaves and he wrote the Declaration.

An end to the slave trade and an expansion of women's rights were the colonial actions that were omitted in the Declaration of Independence. The various delegates could not agree on these two issues, and in the interest of unanimity, they had to be omitted from the Declaration.
England abolished the slave trade in 1807 through the passing of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act.
