Well, independence for those who weren’t slaves, of course.

And you will of course explain to us how this is different from what the founders did?

Let's see. 13 slave owning states demanding Independence from a Union (United Kingdom) while the Union is offering freedom to their slaves. The 13 slave owning states form a Confederacy, and chose a slave owning General from Virginia to lead their armies to fight for their independence.

Did the original 13 slave owning states have a right to independence or not?
