I don’t want to humor them. I want to fight them.

The history doesn’t match up to the claims. The Founders were on the correct side of history at the time of independence, even on the issue of slavery.

America isn’t guilty here, and shouldn’t pay the price for it. Those are the very simple facts.

The Founders were on the correct side of history at the time of independence, even on the issue of slavery.

This is a bizarre argument. Slavery had been abolished in England in 1772, prior to the Declaration of Independence. At the time of the Declaration of Independence, slavery was legal in all states, including Massachusetts.
