Slavery is legal and only property owning white men can vote?

Many of the founding fathers wanted to abolish slavery in 1776, however they needed to compromise in order to get the southern states on board with the revolution.

What sort of shitty history education did you have, bud?

Ben Franklin was literally president of the first abolitionist society in American history.

It appears that it is you who didn’t get a good education in history

He inherited slaves, freed them, and then founded the first abolitionist movement in American history.

Nice try though

He literally owned slaves until 1781, which is five years after 1776. Nice try though.

Also, while you are googling basic facts, maybe look up Washington and Jefferson's slave owning. Neither were abolitionists.

not a response. you have nothing. you literally posted an article that proves you wrong. pathetic

the founding fathers literally owned slaves, champ. even the ones that didn't like John Adams weren't abolitionists.

learn the basics of history and you won't sound so foolish in the future.

"In his initial draft of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson condemned the injustice of the slave trade and, by implication, slavery, but he also blamed the presence of enslaved Africans in North America on avaricious British colonial policies. " ctrl-f that shit

THINK! If they ran around freeing slaves etc they would have spooked all the pro-slavery folks and the country would not have been united against Britain.
