That’s not how it was. The only two colonies who refused in 1776 were South Carolina and Georgia. All of the rest were on board with that declaration clause.

That’s 11 to 2, in case you needed numbers.

Well I do kinda need the numbers. Where do you get this 11 to 2 thing? The Committee of Five drafted the document. When did it ever get to the other representatives before it was written?

I seem to remember you bringing this same argument up a long time ago, and I seem to recall questioning how you arrived at this conclusion back then.

I don't think you gave me a good answer, because I don't recall it. I would think that if you proved your claim, I would remember it, but I don't.

“I don’t think you gave me a good answer, because I don’t recall it.”

This is a recurring pattern with you and your crew. Bet if it was CW related it would be immediately and forever committed to memory.

As to the request, here’s where it comes from. You’ll note that others in this discussion have also brought up GA/SC in relation to that specific passage to the Declaration. It’s not a secret. You almost have to not want to know it, to not know it.

We need to come to grips with the fact that CRT-history is quite a lot older than just the last 10 years. Progressives have been sowing these seeds for many decades under the guise of history.
