“or mythology.”
I said it in another post so I will reiterate it: if it were not for that part of the revolution fought by and in the southern colonies, there would have been no US. Also, don’t be so naive, the revolution was fought not only for moral issues but also over monetary matters.
Slavery was an underlying cause of the WBTS, but it was not the paramount issue. I say underlying because it was the engine which kept the southern aggrarian economy working as mechanization was a dream. The issue it underlayed was monetary driven by tariffs. I missed any reference to slavery in the proclamation to arms by Lincoln which further supports my position. That and the fact few people actually owned slaves in the south and Lee and a good number of his generals also did not or had freed them prior to the war. None of this is mythology, it is historic fact.
If you really want to get the spittle flying suggest to one of the Lincoln Coven that black soldiers fought for the Confederacy. That really gets their heads spinning like Linda Blair on pea soup.
What you said upstream was "If it were not for the southern colonies during the Revolution, there would have been no United States" which, besides being sorta self-serving, is only partially true. The truth is that all the colonies needed each other if we were to survive.
The issue it underlayed was monetary driven by tariffs.
Not true
