What Jamaican Maroons and the Founding Fathers have in common

Emancipation would've been delayed by decades or may not have even happened at all.

The only reason Dunmore proclaimed in the first place was for tactical reasons. It wasn't because of something rooted in compassion or right reason. They hoped that a promise of freedom for slaves would gave Britain a brand new instant new army to work with.

No colonists rebelling means no Dunmore Proclamation. Without the Dunmore Proclamation setting the ball in motion, the whole thing likely falls apart and Wilberforce gets deported to Australia. Perhaps the Brits would've made him into Napoleon's neighbor at Elba or Saint Helena island. It is worth noting that the Proclamation's ultimate hypocrisy is that the British brought all those slaves to North America in the first place.

As I originally wrote, it's not like Britain was the equivalent of America today. All things equal, they had much more in common with another "evil empire" we've heard about. Minus the gulags. Well, I guess I couldn't even say that because they did use Spain's concentration camp idea in the Boer war, now didn't they?

Great post, “Jamaican good articles” on your blog, thanks! (too obvious)

I recommend everyone actually read it and think it through.

All the posts here bouncing around really helped me too, thanks all.

This type of article is like “MMA Training” for readers, where we get a new technique to use to attack or fend off another new body part, sometimes a stealthy body part, of the progressive beast.

It is ammunition for argument (fighting) to support a position and influence others.

The body we are fighting has a lot of limbs that are not always obvious, and they are vulnerable and when controlled affect the entire progressive beast.

Reading these posts is so often a workout that pays off later.

Your comment summarized all this well, “Progressive narratives are actually very easy to debunk. The only hard part is knowing where to look.”
