You realize you sound just like the liberals who produced this 1619 project, right?

But you are right, actions speak louder than words. And Ben Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay all joined the Pennsylvania Society for
Promoting the Abolition of Slavery. Ben Franklin even served as President.

But you go ahead and keep siding with these liberals who claim that the founding fathers were just a bunch of racist lying slave owners who really didn’t believe the immortal words they wrote”all men are created equal”.

As do people who continuously insist the sole motivation for Southern states to leave the Union is "protecting slavery."

I am borrowing a page from Rush Limbaugh. I am illustrating absurdity by being absurd.

Of course I don't believe the Founders were motivated by a desire to protect slavery. Neither do I believe the vast majority of Confederates were motivated by a desire to expand slavery.

In both cases, the breaking away states were aggrieved, and wanted out of a government they no longer saw as serving their interests.
