If I and/or my family were captured in battle and given the choice, I would gladly choose life for them. As long as you are alive, there is hope. Death is pretty permanent.

Every slave was given that same choice at one point or another.

Then on what basis were Americans justified in fighting for their freedom in 1775? If life in slavery is better than a chance of death in battle?

What about all that stuff about “Give me Liberty or give me Death?”

I find it very difficult to believe that someone who thinks of himself as a conservative American can actually believe such arguments. They are not only un-American, they are IMO anti-American. They are in direct conflict with the principles that make America distinctive.
