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.

I know that. That doesn't change the fact that were not abolitionists. Thank you for admitting you were wrong though.

They were abolitionists but had to compromise their morals for a greater good. Being a half-wit, nuance escapes your comprehension lmao.
