American Revolution about slavery

Image
The Confederate Flag is heritage the US Flag is hate.  The “Founding Fathers" founded the US on slavery. A desire to protect the institution of slavery not “Liberty” is what drove the patriots to seek independence from the free country of the United Kingdom. (1770s UK was freer than the Victorian empire.)I was New England not the South that created racism in North America as Patricia Bradly states in her book Slavery, Propaganda, and the American Revolution, "In a Puritain worldwher symbolwas considered a godly mode of communication, the [racial] color black was itself a symbol of evil."Jefferson Davis president of the Confederate States of America once said, “Truth crushed to earth is truth still and like a seed will rise again.” Gerald Horne in his book The Counter-Revolution of 1776 says, ‘ this may have curdled the emergent idea of “American” separateness verging on "indendency” in a brew of pre-existent anti-London and anti-Negro sentiment.’ (pg.131)
