In Jefferson's day and the conflicts leading up to it, the all men being equal was in the context of the nobility vs commoners.
In England not so long before, if a commoner did not step off of the plank sidewalk to make way for a noble, they could be hanged. It wasn't an idle threat.

“All men are created equal” needs a massive asterisk.

Is it really self evident is that all men are created equal?

They are endowed with certain inalienable rights, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
That is the equality that is self evident.

They're created equal at birth. By the time they get to HEB they're definitely not equal.
