The states agreed that all 13 states must agree on the Declaration of Independence. If even one disagrees, the declaration would die and never see the light of day.
An early version of the Declaration of Independence included the condemnation of the obscene practice of slavery. What was the vote? 11 for including the condemnation of the practice and 2 against.
Because of two states, the final Declaration of Independence did not include the condemnation.
