Then you claim he was a slaveholder. Nice try.
I can understand the norms of 1780 in context.
Honestly, I think naming holidays is stupid. Spread the holidays out across the year. Companies can declare whatever days they want.
“I can understand the norms of 1780 in context.”
That is an interesting comment.
Do you understand the norms of 1860 in context?
Can you understand the norms of 1860 in context? Your ancestor did not fight in Maryland against slavery. He did not fight in Delaware against slavery. He did not fight in Kentucky against slavery. He did not fight in West Virginia against slavery. He did not fight in Missouri against slavery. He did not fight in any Northern state which still had slavery.
Therefore I argue his fight was not against slavery, but was instead against people who did not wish to be ruled by corrupt greedy Washington DC, and that slavery had nothing to do with where he went to fight and why he was fighting.
