American Revolution AHC: Liberty for ALL

With a POD of no earlier then 1492, have the American Revolution be dedicated not only to the independence of the 13 colonies from Britain, but for freedom and liberty for EVERYONE.

The Continental Congress and Declaration of Independence have statements demanding freedom for poor whites, slaves, immigrants, and Native Americans. All regardless of race or religion. True enlightenment ideals.

And have them still win the war. How can this come about.
 
It's a challenge because people look at what's in it for them.

Maybe have the religious enlightenment of the (?) where there were "new lights" and "old lights" more directly engaged the wrongness of slavery, combined with maybe a tech change where cotton isn't the most profitable crop.

The differing states have varying schemes for gradual emancipation and it's formalized in the Continental Congress and the Declaration of Independence. And for a twist, have a slightly different Articles of Confederation actually work! :)

No but seriously that's FRICKING impossible at the time, you could have something there without including religion with a PoD of 1492 making religion rather than race the primary factor of discrimination in the Americas but true freedom of religion, nah.
