    This may come as a shock, but the northern colonies assuring the South that slavery wasn’t going to be abolished despite fears from the South that it would be by the northern colonies isn’t exactly proof that the war between the colonies and Great Britain was about slavery. In fact, one might go so far as to say it’s fucking irrelevant to the causes and reasons for the revolution itself. Hell, the Americans abolished the slave trade before the Brits did.

        You caught me, it was the holsum desire of the Brits to abolish slavery, which they profited from massively, which drove the American Revolution, please ignore all evidence to the contrary.
