Had England decided to win, it wouldn't have been a "moral cause" it would be declared an "immoral clause" and people like you would be arguing that it was right and proper for England to smash this immoral attempt at Independence.

Uh, no I wouldn't. I believe there should be rebellion anywhere a people lose their representation if that people have the integrity to conduct themselves in a Godly way.

If the topic was ever subsequently brought up, someone like you would be foaming at the mouth regarding the absolute immorality of Colonists throwing off their perpetual allegiance to the King. As the King was selected to rule by God, defying the King is the Ultimate immorality.

No, my 5-great grandfather fought for representation here out of Norfolk in the American Revolution. Representation is in my blood. If you look at my posting history you'll see I post mostly on Christian threads. When a nation strays from biblical principles, there should be rebellion or separation. Britain violated God's Word through their unfairness to the American Colonists and before that by their policies against free enterprise. Deuteronomy is very economically conservative.

Your problem is that you have no grasp of zeitgeist.

No, most Americans know and have always known slavery is evil. It's what our Constitution is about, except the parts the southerners wrote. lol

It's cute that you think you would have the same opinions did you but live in a different stream of History. :)

Especially with your ancestors coming from 1770s Virginia.

Do you believe your Virginia Ancestors regarded it as evil? What makes you think you would in the same circumstance? This is exactly what I mean when I say you do not comprehend "zeitgeist."

The Constitution implicitly recognizes slavery. I would suggest that if you think it was a bad deal, the Northern States (most of which were still slave states at this time) should not have agreed to it back when it mattered. Instead, they made the devil's bargain, and then refused to honor it.

They pulled a "bait and switch" on the South, because they needed the South but could not conquer it in 1787. Once they got to the point where they could conquer it, they no longer had to keep their bargain.
