You object to the Colonists being portrayed as slave owners?

Why should you object to that? It's true.

It’s your distortion of reality that I object to. It’s like someone asking about Benjamin Franklin and you replying, “Oh yeah - he had gout”

It’s true - but in no way the defining element for Franklin - or the colonialists.

Thought the American Revolution was about taxation, not ownership of slaves?
