I'm not convinced the US considered these values mainstream, as exclusion of most people from voting, and from slaves their natural rights shows

Following on nemo44x's response, we also don't really have much written evidence to the contrary.

Literacy rates in late colonial America were 85-90% north of Virginia and around 60% in Virginia and south of it. If large numbers of people were disagreeing, they surely weren't writing about it.

Western Liberalism is a self correcting, evolving system of ideas and rigorous analysis of what is considered knowledge. So yes, per the people that were considered "the people" during those times, this belief was very strongly held indeed.
