But that wasn’t what the American Revolutionary War was about.

Slavery was a thing at the time. Neither side, the Americans or the British/Loyalists, were fighting over slavery in the colonies. It only became contested when both sides started measures to offer “freedom” to slaves to take up arms against the other faction. Freedom that could easily be rescinded.

The Revolutionary War was a fight against a corrupt British regime that wasn’t giving full rights to British colonists.

Seems like you have not been able to refute the OP. And what is it that you are referencing in the OP about the south?

I have no idea what you are insinuating. Perhaps you should go to the OP and then quote what inspired you to write what you did.

But you and your “we” crowd are more than willing to be indecent enough to talk about everything except what is posted in the OP.

Where in the OP was there anything about the Southern Border?

There was nothing about the southern border. And?

We are talking about nothing but your OP. It is you bringing up things not in the OP in a desperate attempt to elide your dumpster fire.:laughing:

I don’t know man… you are the one who brought up the southern border in this thread.

Yes. You and your crowd are talking about the OP, but not about its content. :roll_eyes:

In case you missed it, it was in response to a request about the south.

I didn’t miss it.

It was a jump in history of about 170 years.

That is why it was so jolting.

Jolting? Why is giving a contemporary example of slavery which begins at our southern border jolting?

Because it came out of no where.

But it wasn’t addressed to you. Was it? It was in response to a poster trying to be cute in my opinion. So, I return the favor.

You called me out directly when I was just going to let it die.

Are things okay at home?

Called you out? In response to your post, I asked “What people? What things?”

So, once again you resort to a snaky remark. Typical of you.

Once again let me ask . . . What people? What things?

And then went on a bizarre tear about the southern border.

In a thread about the 1787 Constitution.

It’s strange.

“What people? What things?”

The same people who wrote the words that are so often quoted went on to contradict a hell of a lot what they said their high ideals were.

Which was why I keep saying, don’t just pay attention to what they wrote, also pay attention to what they did.

They weren’t Gods… they were men.
