“The U.S. was born a slave state because Britain forced us to be born a slave state.”
That is an interesting comment; one I’ve heard before but don’t fully understand.
Are you saying that the purchase of slaves by colonists in America was forced upon them by the British government?
Did the British government force the colonists to borrow money to buy the slaves?
If a colonist did not agree to buy slaves they did not want, did the British government punish the colonist in some way?
I had always thought the purchase of slaves was more along the lines of willing buyer/willing seller.
Are you denying that Britain vetoed our (colonial) abolitionist laws?
Yes or no. Pick.
