It is so annoying to me when people judge history and people of the past by the current ideas and knowledge. Even now in our culture we have thing happening that are appalling to humanity. We have no right to judge the people of the past too unkindly. And besides all of the principle founders, even those who inherited slaves and therefore were slave owners, were opposed to slavery, Thomas Jefferson purposed an antislavery plan that would have eliminated slavery within one generation. Our founding fathers were very wise in not pushing the slavery issue at the time. You have to learn to pick the most important battle at the moment. If you read their words you will see they wished slavery did not exist in America but they believed that in time it would be eradicated. Slavery was not an American problem. It was a world problem. It did not exist here because the American colonist were particularly evil. It came here with those coming from other places in the world. The American revolution was a revolution indeed and the ideas of liberty and quality were believed by the men who wrote those words.

Nope. Mistaken slavery was rebranded. London did that. Debt. Stockmarket. We weren't better off still aren't but, good try thinking that way. Update your thought bubble, John.
Just a suggestion. Remember old you from the past? He is still not there.
America is no doubt a hot mess. England ended the version of slavery the American South still had for propaganda to make us look worse. Wasn't hard to do but, they didn't end profiting off that economic structure. Simply hide the slavery a new way- ask India they remember. We weren't better off with a monarchy. Still aren't.

The US declaration of independence along with the French revolution were the first time since the fall of the Roman Republic that relevant nations followed democracy. You might argue that the Dutch and the Swiss did that too but they weren't super powers of their day.

I always roll my eyes when 4th of July comes around. Why? Only one third of colonialists supported the revolution. Most Americans today would be sing God Save the King if this was 1776.

The jabs are subtle, but noted. Apple products are also produced in a fascist country so that sticker is misplaced at best.
