Not even close in your logic pal. The colonists were ‘’subjects’’ of a monarchy wanting to establish a new country based on freedom and equality. Not secessionists looking to create their own slave-holding empire.
“Not secessionists looking to create their own slave-holding empire.”
You’re just a racist that believes in southern white people being evil. You’re a known quantity, Non-Sequitur.
“Not secessionists looking to create their own slave-holding empire.”
P.S. That was one of the dumbest statements you’ve ever made, and you’ve made some dumb ones. The Brits were a slave holding empire and we were them. Just where did you think we all came from, anyway? Somehow before the war all the British subjects left and we Americans then fought the British? Maybe the Brits won the war and then they all left and we magically appeared?
“It’s not a ‘’racist’’ thing with me. More people were enslaved under the Stars and Stripes than the Stars and Bars.”
“Not secessionists looking to create their own slave-holding empire.”
You contradict yourself.
Logic isn’t on your side, jmac. Code Toad has you caught in a trap and you haven’t figured a way out of it. Bloviating isn’t a winning argument no matter how much it appeals to you.
The rebels of 1776 were a secession movement against the legitimate government.
The Royal Governor of Virginia, Lord Dunsmore, issued America’s first Emancipation Proclamation in 1775. He offered freedom to any and all slaves who left their masters and joined the royal forces that defended the Union- the United Kingdom.
So yes, the secessionists of 1776 were looking to create their own slave-holding empire in defiance of the established and abolitionist government.
