Jefferson suffered through Congress remaking his work. His draft, at 1,704 words, was 366 words longer than the final version. The Congress added 253 words, and removed or rephrased 792 words, thereby transforming over 60% of his work. Among passages removed was a 168-word section complaining the mercantile system, imposed on the colonies by commercial charter, mandated the importation of slaves to the New World.
