"Free" by the standards of the day, or "free" by today's standards? ... you do know the Bible condones slavery, don't you? ...
And how do you define slavery? ... at the time of the revolution, almost all people in the American Colonies were slaves, very few nobility ... how does one outlaw themselves? ...
Different timeline....If I could go back in Time and change the minds of America's Founding Fathers, successfully convincing them that starting a "Free" country with an economy tied to human enslavement was a bad idea.....
Would you want me to?
One thing certain... that would be a VERY different Timeline.

Slavery in the sense of forced manual labor, without pay, based on race. I think you know damn well what it means.
No it wouldn't. The South would have sided with the British and the North would have been crushed. The USA would probably not have even reached dominion status like Canada until the late twentieth century. Without the northern, largely free colonies compromising with the southern slave owning colonies there would never have been a United States.It would have certainly caused a lot less headache.
It would have ended years of government abuse of the south and constant political turmoil. It would have prevented a civil war. Most importantly, blacks wouldn't have the fucking sense of entitlement.
That definition describes Feudalism ... which was the case in the American Colonies de jure ... the form of slavery practiced in the Antebellum South was one of the most brutal and merciless forms in all history ... and poor whites suffered as well ...
Hey STUPID ... white people never enslaved black people ... white people BOUGHT slaves from black people ... so ... fucking duh ... the slaves were black, who'd'a thought huh? ... Bubba didn't finish Middle School ...
Bro, are you a retard? I know how fucking slavery worked. And just because the whites bought them from blacks doesn't make it somehow morally better.
The African slave trade was banned in 1807, meaning all slaves in the U.S. were replenishing themselves, we weren't getting any more of them from Africa. Poor whites weren't enslaved, negros were, based on their race. It wasn't Feudal. At no point was the U.S. a Feudal nation. We were an overtaxed nation without representation, and that's why we revolted.
"Free" by the standards outlined in The Constitution as written."Free" by the standards of the day, or "free" by today's standards? ... you do know the Bible condones slavery, don't you? ...

Absolutely.Different timeline....
Different people (than us in our timeline ) would populate that alternative timeline a number of years after your interference point. There is no guarantee that humanity and the world would be better due to your trip back in time, but it might be.
Perhaps...Doesn't matter who or what you stopped............there would be someone else taking their place and doing the same thing........probably even worse and more horrific.
It's a fantasy. Un-twist your panties and go with it.Wealthy people needed a new country. Their profits were being diminished elsewhere. Your proposal makes no sense.

Ass-U-Me a successful mission in ending the European Enslavement Experiment at the onset of The American Experiment and let your mind fantasize the changes to history.
The demographics of the country would definitely be affected.If I could go back in Time and change the minds of America's Founding Fathers, successfully convincing them that starting a "Free" country with an economy tied to human enslavement was a bad idea.....

"Free" by the standards outlined in The Constitution as written.
Don't politic out on the question... I'm not asking anything about the morality of enslavement - I want to know if people are willing to accept our ugly history yet.
Probably because your Bible condones it, the Europeans of 300 - 400 years ago thought it a good idea to experiment with industrialized enslavement based on race. It is an experiment that is still blowing up in the face of humanity.
Personally, I believe that it's close to Time to move on. But moving on requires America to accept the historic facts of what happened, and to learn to truly appreciate the positive changes to both their own families Timeline, and to history, that the fact of intertwining humanity in 'Industrialized Enslavement' brought about, while acknowledging the cruelty and the contribution.
