See – I too can spin history and come up with asinine conclusions. So when you see NFL players sitting for the National Anthem have at least some pity. They are playing football because of their skin and brawn, not their intellect. They are simple idiots being played by the left who want to use the history of slavery as a cudgel to impose their policies today.

The British were notorious (or famous I suppose) for cobbling together armies around a small core of English troops. Think of Wellington’s armies in Spain and Waterloo. In the latter incidence, English troops only comprised about one their of his force; the rest being “King’s German Legion”, Hanoverian, Dutch and Belgic.

“skin and brawn”

Oops, I meant “skill and brawn”, Freudian slip?

COLONIAL MARINES!

Were the CM really “American” slaves, or any slaves from British colonies? After all, there were many of them.

ping for RevWar/colonial/general federal period

(we’d often be pinged for “1812” stuff)

Man o man, when will these low info people get a clue about the truth of slavery. They only see the American side. Until they realize the truth, I pass on articles like these. Yeah slavery is bad and all, when is it ever good for those who were enslaved. These people are still enslaved and when they truly become free of the those who are truly oppressing them (hint: it isn’t conservative whitey) then and only then can they be free. It’s like MLK spoke and it went in one ear and out the other with these people. MLK is just a symbol to them. They never listened to his words. They might have heard them but there is a huge difference between listening and hearing them.
Oh well, the cotton fields have been replaced by fields of concrete.
