Yeah, I've spent basically the last two decades dealing with progressives I know how this narrative magic works.
According to the progressives' historiography, anybody who supported slavery was American. Anybody who opposed slavery was British. It's magic. How did we get here I don't know just trust in your friendly local neighborhood progressive and dont ask questions.
The rule is: under no circumstances is America ever to at any time get credit for abolitionism. Giving America credit is completely ruled out and is a violation. The progressives' rule is that America is racist and evil and everybody else is pure as the wind driven snow.
Yes, I understand. I reject it. It's garbage.
Luckily all of the hypocrisies and contradictions are too glaring to ignore and its fun to pick it all apart since all of the facts are on my side.
If you are going to lay all blame for slavery prior to 1776 on The U.S., then you must, must, must also lay all blame for abolitionism prior to 1776 on The U.S. as well. You can't have it both ways, you can't keep your cognitive dissonance on this. Pick one but only one.
“According to the progressives’ historiography, anybody who supported slavery was American. Anybody who opposed slavery was British. It’s magic. How did we get here I don’t know just trust in your friendly local neighborhood progressive and dont ask questions. “
You sure make some rather broad statements.
“If you are going to lay all blame for slavery prior to 1776 on The U.S., then you must, must, must also lay all blame for abolitionism prior to 1776 on The U.S. as well. You can’t have it both ways, you can’t keep your cognitive dissonance on this. Pick one but only one.”
Who in the Sam Tucker is this “you” you are addressing? I think you need to make sure the strap on your tin foil hat is tight enough.
