Jefferson wrote this but was forced to remove it under pressure from other delegates.

Jefferson was scribbling changes to the document until literally the last second, in an anteroom.
I think it was probably a good idea that the above was deleted.

Very interesting.
OTOH, how many clauses didn’t make it and was this also inspired to stop King George’s continued meddling?

Reading a book about the relationship between Geo. Washington and Benedict Arnold - or maybe it was from Googling stuff while watching Hamilton last night - but was reading about British efforts to offer freedom to slaves if they would fight for the British cause.
So, this doesn't surprise me.

Yeah it’s part of the Hamilton narrative.
