Slavery and the Revolutionary War
Found some history about the Revolutionary War I didn’t know: the British freed slaves during the Revolution. This ties into a theory of mine that the American revolutions were all about slavery: the First American Revolution against the British (successful); the Texan Revolution against the Mexicans (also successful); and the Second American Revolution against the Yankees (unsuccessful). Not that I’m in favour of slavery—on balance I’m opposed—but it is interesting that it has fuelled so much talk of liberty.
