No. Independence Day has nothing to do with the abolishment of slavery. Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery because blacks helped the Union win the Civil War. Independence day is a holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. I personally consider the Emancipation Proclamation (January 1, 1863) to be the true Declaration of Independence.

What if the Declaration of Independence had condemned slavery?

Yes the course of American history would have changed significantly if the declaration OF independence had included Jefferson's statement. Slavery would have ended earlier and people wouldn't have to suffer. I honestly think people life would have been much better, if they included slavery or put an end to it at that time. It might have changed America in so many ways. Thomas Jefferson Statement was to end slavery bat some states didn't agree with him, because they lived on slavery.
