Now that I got my summary reply out of the way,
“What London did in 1770, five years before war with the Colonies erupted, doesn’t supercede nor control what they did in practice 5 and 9 years later.“
Considering that crown forces kept doing it with the vetoes of colonial anti-slavery legislation, yes it does mean exactly that no matter how much it causes you chagrin and makes you want to stomp your little feet. You are simply wrong. You should accept it. You’re not going to outright say the veto actions plural did not occur. They did occur.
I can reference the original Virginia State Constitution, I can reference Jefferson’s original Declaration, I can reference many historians who do drive by shootings with the information but nonetheless they do state it, I can reference British Abolitionists who admit that the crown did these evil practices, and I can reference other original and third party reliable sources to prove that said veto actions plural took place harming our early American abolitionist efforts.
I have the upper hand here. I hate to state it to you that way but this is getting ridiculous on your part. You should let it go. You cannot win this one. The facts are too collected and easily compiled.
“In practice they did the same thing that Lincoln did 90 years later“
Nobody gives a damn but you and the same 10 people here at FR who have wasted 20 years or more of your lives navel gazing on the irrelevant CW.
“Your argument appears to rest on the idea that a Colonial American desire for abolition was being thwarted by London.“
You never once say the veto actions plural did not happen. So my argument is confirmed by none other than the great Pelham.
My argument is exactly that – that the idea that a Colonial American desire for abolition WAS being thwarted by London(and also its creature colonial governors), it WAS, and that this is by far the ultimate weapon we have against the 1619 Project instead of surrendering on “everybody was doing it” and smearing the Founders who don’t deserve to be besmirched as we tuck our tails inbetween our legs and run as fast as we can for the tall grass to hide.
I’m just not sure why this set of facts upsets you so much. They vetoed our laws. Why does it upset you so? The fact never goes away. It will always be there.
Since the fact never goes away, why fight so hard against it? What possibly could Pelham have to gain by fighting so hard against so confirmed and irrefutable of a fact as these veto actions plural?
These wicked actions against our great Americans. What possibly could you have for personal gain here? What is your personal gain??????? What could it possibly be, I must know. I need to know.
