I’m curious.
You seem to recognize that the colonies in 1776 and the South in 1860 had the right to rebel when they thought their liberties were threatened.
Do you accept that southern slaves, whose human rights actually were being trampled, not just threatened, had a similar right, indeed duty, to use violence against their oppressors? If not, why not?
To take it another step, did others have the right to fight alongside the slaves in defense of their human rights, as the French fought alongside the American revolutionists? IOW, was John Brown’s attempted insurrection, while hare-brained and incompetent, a thoroughly moral enterprise? If not, why not?
You want to take a crack at answering my questions in post 45?
