“she made the claim that American colonists sought independence from Great Britain because “they wanted to protect the institution of slavery in the colonies.”

That statement could not be a more egregious lie. The charters they operated on from Britain demanded slavery and the one New England colony besides Virginia tried to abolish it, but had the law was nullified by the British. Between the Revolution and the Constitutional Convention, six of thirteen colonies abolished slavery.

Thank you GJones2 for great links.
