Citing a stricken propaganda section of one early draft does not explain what is meant by “domestic insurrection” in the final draft. Can you give me a reference to any slave insurrection that Jefferson might have obliquely been using a euphemism for? ....... or not? You are implying that there were active slave insurrections, against which the writers of the DOI were complaining. Where, what, who, when, why, were these Slave insurrections? You make the blatant claim, surely you can back it up?

“You make the blatant claim, surely you can back it up?”

Your taunt supposes that I do not have access to even more information supporting my statements.

There are sportsmen that like to hear the line sing as a small fish pulls a length through the drag knowing once the hook is set in the jaw all that remains is to reel him in and enjoy the spectacle.

Now you know what, even if you don’t know when.
