The Ones who kept all their slaves? Perhaps the ones that deliberately wrote slavery into the US Constitution? (Article IV, Section 2)
I don't think you are coping well with history that won't bend to what you wish it to be.
What is it with you two, anyways?
Are you incapable of separating anything away from the Civil War? Is it really that difficult? It should be utterly simple to say “the Civil War and all of that” (pointing in one direction) that’s over there.
“The Revolution and the Founders” (pointing in the opposite direction) that’s over here.
How come you aren’t capable of doing this?
"I don't think you are coping well with history that won't bend to what you wish it to be.
I'm coping just fine with it because I haven't stopped being consistent. It is very fun and enjoyable being consistent, you should give it a try.
Post 7: "Benjamin Franklin was a slaveowner most of his life."
Post 149: "Have you never heard of William Wilberforce or John Newton?"
Oh John Newton deserves an exemption for being a slave trader then he turned abolitionist? I agree, Benjamin Franklin, John Dickinson, John Jay deserve the equal exemption.
But I wouldn't expect that from you guys and your Britain First inconsistent mentality.
In your original position, Jay and Franklin are disqualified as slave owners from being abolitionists - it's not possible, well, you've disqualified John Newton too. It's not possible for John Newton to be an abolitionist.
I didn't make this rule. You guys did. Make it make sense.
