England had slaves ,too
yup
Well they’ve been falsely claiming the Southern States fought to preserve slavery in the 1860s. Moving on to falsely claiming the 13 colonies fought to preserve slavery was always the next move.
As we Southerners have been telling y’all for 30+ years now.
I think it is more important to ask why such a claim is being made.

There are a number of “social justice” writers that claim our present government is illegitimate because of the “original sin” of slavery.

We should not fall for the trap of arguing over revisionist history.
