Surely, then, since you maintain that “domestic insurrection” is a euphemism for “slave insurrection” (as used by Jefferson in the DOI) you can furnish the accounts of the specific slave insurrections that Jefferson was referencing?

If I can’t, then what?

If I can, then what?

Will you then question Jefferson’s reference: “He has erected a Multitude of new Offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harass our People . . .” Will you ask: What are the specific names of the Officers in those Swarms?

Will you then question Jefferson’s reference: “He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly Firmness his Invasions on the Rights of the People.” Will you ask: What are the accounts of the specific Invasions and are there records of those invasions
in the Journals of Congress?

Jefferson wrote in the DOI about “our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the Executioners of their Friends and Brethren . . .” Will you now ask to be furnished the “accounts of the specific” names of the supposed Friends that were executed?”

If I can’t furnish those specifics, then what?

If I can furnish those specifics, then what?
