Revisionist garbage. The international slave trade was the third leg of the “Yankee Traders’” triangular trade scheme at that time and British warships were intercepting New England (especially Rhode Island) financed-built-owned-operated transports until well after the Thirteenth Amendment was ratified. You keep throwing it, hoping that it will eventually stick, but this high-fiber bullshit isn’t getting adhesion. You’ve been corrected on this matter before and you can no longer just pretend to be ignorant. You’re obviously just a liar.

Yeah, I remember you.

You’re the one who tries to do this bait and switch about something that happened decades later. You can’t call someone a revisionist if you can’t even get the timeline right. The timeline is really basic stuff here.

Do you know America didn’t exist prior to 1776? I shouldn’t have to ask, but maybe you didn’t know since you treat “New England” as if its one word or phrase, without asking what that “England” part is all about. That “England” part of “New England” is actually really important. We weren’t free colonies, we had no will of our own. That’s what Independence was all about.

The fact remains that at any point prior to Independence slavery was the British Empire’s cargo, on board the Empire’s ships moving in between one of the Empire’s ports to another of the Empire’s ports. Nothing you can do to change that. That’s the factual timeline.

America did not exist until Independence was declared. The date is July 2nd, 1776.
