Sorry, it was RegulatorCountry’s link about George Mason that described all of the problems created by slaves, how it corrupted men, and how it would ultimately lead to ruin. But you were mentioning George Mason, so you might find it useful.
Stupidity on your part, sheer stupidity, you standing in judgment of not just George Mason but all the Founders. All history and all the world should’ve turned on a dime after some single, particular flashpoint, according to you. It’s all symbolic, everybody “should’ve known” and hindsight makes perfect, according to you.
You began this exchange with the claim that our Founders “lacked the balls” or some such inanity, and rather than admit you didn’t have the first clue, you launch into some campaign using words that clearly demonstrate that they did not evade the issue at all, in fact knew it would lead to precisely that which occurred, war.
And yet, our nation was established and the best form of government ever created by man was born anyway. Nevermind, says you, they were hypocrites and had no balls, pledging their lives and fortunes and sacred honor, the hypocrites. According to you.
You disdain our Founders and our founding document. Don’t expect a round of applause. You might get a pat on the back or two in leftist quarters but not from me.
I’m done here. You should hang your head in shame, but you won’t.
