“Britain FORCED slavery on America.”

It is worse than that. Much worse.

After the Americans won the Revolution, Britain forced thirteen of the thirteen states to vote to include slavery in the U.S. Constitution.

Later the British forced U.S. Grant to own a slave or two.

Eventually Grant broke free of British control and freed his slave but Mrs. Grant was still under their spell.

That still rankles me (what the Brits did). Bad, bad Englishmen.

Americans wanted to create a country in 1776 that consisted of 3 (likely 4) free-soil states, and only 9 slave states.

We were robbed.
