I’ve read Miracle in Philadelphia and other similar books and the problem they all seem to have is ignorance or a downplaying of the fact that England had abolished slavery within its borders over a decade before the United States was recognized as an independent nation, and England didn’t break out into civil war over slavery. The problem in the colonies was that the slave owners not only gained power over the lives of human beings, they were able to gain political power that they should never have had access to.
You seem to fail to realize that England held colonies wherein numerous forms of human bondage were not just practiced but legally enforced, and that English merchants profited from the slave trade despite the near absence of them in England. How many colonies attempted to halt the importation of African slaves and how were their efforts greeted by England, af_vet_rr? And, what does England’s abolishment of slavery have to do with the price of tea in China when their own colonies were not allowed to do so? You haven’t read a thing on this subject, otherwise you would not be continuing to make such bizarre statements. Please read the George Mason link I provided.
You were there? You know that for a fact?
You really can't view history accurately from the perspective of one's own armchair, y'know.
If Roger Sherman, et al shared your view, there would be no union today.
