Slavery in the US lasted from the end of the American Revolution (where independence was recongnized) in 1783 until the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 - a total of 80 years (not the 400 years claimed by the perpetual parasites).

The balance of our 150 years slavery was illegal.

I don’t get your logic. Did it matter to the slave wether or not their masters had declared independence from Britain? I’m not getting it.
