It's the elephant in the living room. All other facts are not nearly so dynamic as that some of the 13 colonies were trying to move away from the slave situation and were held back intentionally.
I wish I didn't know a thing about it and could ignore it. It's all in the past. The reality is though progressives make it a big deal, so we can't afford to ignore it. I'm simply leveraging the genius of the Founders and the timeline of abolitionism as they should be leveraged. It doesn't benefit the progressives - and there's no doubt about that. So I'm good with that.
The facts are on our side. Why leave such a useful item unused?
“All other facts are not nearly so dynamic as that some of the 13 colonies were trying to move away from the slave situation and were held back intentionally.”
But after the Revolutionary War all 13 American states voted to adopt a pro-slavery U.S. Constitution. Unanimously.
It is kind of hard to blame the British for the fact that New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maryland, Delaware, and Rhode Island all voted for a pro-slavery U.S. Constitution.
Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia also voted to include slavery in the Constitution. Don’t ever forget to cast four thirteenths responsibility in that direction.
