You are absurd.

Many of the founders thought slavery was a horrible evil, but they realized that they did not have the power to stop slavery, at our founding, and instead put the new nation on a path that would, eventually, bring the matter to a head.

Recognizing reality, and trying to work within the law, does not make any of us accomplices to the evil involved.

Explain to me how the Revolution was "working with the system?" Last I recall, their actions were in clear violation of the body of Government in authority over them.
