jeffersondem: "BJK you got caught wish-casting; then garbled the reference to the the “merciless Indian Savages”; now you seek to make a weak point strong by citing tangential facts to create a misdirection(But even more served the American Continental Army, to the point where one British army officer at Yorktown in 1781 reported the Continental Army was about one-fourth black)."

I presume you enjoy mockery, since it's usually easier than serious thought, right?

Your claim that the Declaration makes our Revolutionary war a "defense of slavery" is just false.
I'll say again: American slavery was not threatened by Brits except in retaliation for our rebellion.
If there was no rebellion, the Brits had no problem with slavery here.
Indeed, thousands of British loyalists who left the United States at war's end took their slaves with them.

Bottom line: in 1776 Brits had no problem with American slavery, and the Revolutionary War was fought not "to defend slavery".

If the colonies were not defending the peculiar institution who was?

And apply it to the Union. You know the truth, you just can't speak it. Here, I'll do it for you.

I'll say again: American slavery was not threatened by Brits except in retaliation for our rebellion.

Oh, here's another one of your sentences that is equally applicable to the Union.

Bottom line: in 1776 Brits had no problem with American slavery, and the Revolutionary War was fought not "to defend slavery".

Which renders:

Bottom line: in 1861 The Union had no problem with American slavery, and the Civil War was fought not "to defend slavery".

Gee, you really can tell the truth when you aren't trying to force it to be the way you want. Just remove the emotional baggage you possess, and you can see things correctly.
