That is all well and good what Britain did on the high seas after a few centuries of both transporting and directly slave-driving in its colonial plantations, but it goes to show just how badly Americans know their(our) own history. It’s a reflection of what I know most don’t want to hear. We are all a product of the manipulation of history progressives have been doing since well before the 1920s.

But to stick with the main point that I stated. Britain does not own abolitionism. America does. If more young Americans knew this fact it would be a lot harder for progressives to do their guilt tripping.

That Declaration is just sitting there, it’s a gold mine waiting to be used and nobody wants the gold.

American efforts going back well before the 1770s, including work directly done by “the” Founding Fathers.
