So America was corrupted from the start by the sin of slavery.The Founding Father's owned slaves much like the rest of the rich folk all over the world owned slaves.
The Constitution does not endorse slavery, as many of the Founders, like Ben Franklin, intended to do away with slavery later on, which they did.
They decided to fight that battle another day in order to form the Republic and break away from the slave owning British.
In fact, Thomas Jefferson wanted to free the slaves in the Declaration of Independence, but recanted to allow the Republic to form instead of break apart which it would have.
Thanks for playing.
We have plenty of representation, the problem is that it caters to the masses, which wants government services but doesn't want to pay for them.The Founding Fathers opposed taxation without representation, something the Left has no problem with at all it seems, nor knowledge of it in the past.
Sad.
The entire world was corrupted with slavery dolt.So America was corrupted from the start by the sin of slavery.

Wrong, most of the opposition to British taxes was in the North because the British not only had their taxes, but restricted colonial trade to British ports. The rich plantation owners of the South had no problem paying taxes and their support of the Congress was always lukewarm.An honest evaluation that the "REvolution" was bunch of rich slave rapists who didn't want to pay their fair share in taxes?
thats militia,,And they weren't "militia", just farmers, hunters, shop keepers, and citizens who owned guns.
militia was defined long before then,,But technically, didn't the battle take place one year before the Declaration of Independence and before the Constitution defined the "militia" in the Second Amendment?
No mention of Crispus Attucks. Is this another leftoid "erase the black man from sight and memory" type of deal?Shot Heard Round the World’ musket balls recovered from site of famous first-day Revolutionary War battle
‘Shot Heard Round the World’ musket balls recovered from site of famous first-day Revolutionary War battle
Almost 250 years ago, British soldiers marched in search of military supplies stockpiled by colonial rebels in Massachusetts and tension turned to bloodshed with battles at the towns of Lexington and Concord that began the Revolutionary War.www.yahoo.com
First, this could go in the Media Forum, but this is also somewhat 2A related. I want to point out, whether intentional or not, the specific use of words that are used and not used when describing why the Brits were coming to America and what they were looking for.
IMO, this is a perfect example of the media, controlling narratives, and shying away from actually telling the whole truth.
Can you find what is "Missing" from the context of the article?
The British were not trying to disarm ordinary citizens if that is the point you are trying to make
Expect that kind of stuff from Yahoo.Looking for arms that were in common use but described as military?
?you couldn't be wronger
Attucks wasn't a slave. He was a runaway slave/free man and 1st mate on a ship. He died that day.So America was corrupted from the start by the sin of slavery.

Yes... "Military Supplies". Which is appears to be an attempt to not use Firearms, arms, guns, rifles, etc. Which are the same arms that the citizens used. Intentional? Probably.Looking for arms that were in common use but described as military?

What is your opinion?

What the rebels wanted was their fair treatment as Englishmen by the Crown.
The country was founded on insurrection, and we can tell today who would have gleefully turned the FF's over to the British for execution, in fact demand to watch and celebrate.That is the way rebellions are
No, I knew about his participation the Boston Massacre (which actually occurred before the revolution!)Attucks wasn't a slave. He was a runaway slave/free man and 1st mate on a ship. He died that day.
You didn't know that, did you? He was out there facing down the British and paid the ultimate price.
