Final answer:

The Declaration of Independence likely did not consider Native Americans as part of the category 'men'. Discriminatory practices towards Native Americans contradict the ideals of equality expressed in the Declaration.


Explanation:

Native Americans are not likely to have been included in the general category of 'men' as perceived by the founding fathers and Americans at the time of the Declaration of Independence. The prevailing attitudes and beliefs during that period were often exclusionary and discriminatory towards indigenous populations. Despite the ideals of equality expressed in the Declaration, the historical treatment of Native Americans demonstrates a stark contrast.
