No, you continue to misread what should be obvious.
Slavery was only threatened by the Brits as a tactic of war -- Brits of 1776 had no problems with American slavery, so long as colonists remained loyal to the king.
So there was no sense in which Americans fought to "preserve slavery", it's just that Brits (like Lincoln in 1862) threatened to abolish it, if they rebelled.
And, in fact, that's just what the Brits did, and some escaped-slaves did serve the Brits, in exchange for promised freedom.
But even more served the American Continental Army, to the point where one British army officer at Yorktown in 1781 reported the Continental Army was about one-fourth black.
I replied: “When I speak of the Declaration of Independence, I am referring to the one that was adopted - the one everyone signed. In other words, not drafts that were not adopted.
“And the DOI documents the reasons why the political bands were dissolved.
“One reason was this: “He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us . . .” This is a reference to slave rebellions. Look it up.
“The thirteen colonies intended to stop slave rebellions.
“I am as uncomfortable saying this as you are learning of it but the 13 northern and southern colonies agreed to fight to preserve the peculiar institution.”
BJK you got caught wish-casting; then garbled the reference to the the “merciless Indian Savages”; now you seek to make a weak point strong by citing tangential facts to create a misdirection(But even more served the American Continental Army, to the point where one British army officer at Yorktown in 1781 reported the Continental Army was about one-fourth black).
I know what you are trying to do. Believe me, I know. I've done it myself. But there is no shame in your learning new facts and moving on.
I'm clear on your final.
