Well...you would do well to revisit your early American history. 1) Many of the signers were strict abolitionists. The fight between Anti and Pro-slavery almost doomed our country before it was even formed. Oh..and not all slave owners were rapists..and many felt that sex with a slave was akin to ******* your horse. Somehow, I think you might be zeroing in on Thomas Jefferson--but whatever.
1) They didn't abolish slavery. All that evil needs to succeed is for good people to do nothing.
2) Check out the fact that black people have about 20 different shades of skin, that's proof they were raping the shit out of their slaves back in the day.
Taxes? Most of the signers of the DOI would have had no problem paying taxes..not sure just what 'fair share' would constitute....but the colonies were taxed to a great degree. It was the fact that these great men were not allowed to participate in the splitting of the loot that gave them the red-ass. No taxation without representation, ya know?
Which again, was horseshit. The main reason WHY those taxes were necessary was the expense of the French and Indian War a decade before. A war the colonists largely instigated by invading French and Indian territory. (England was at War with France in Europe, but they really didn't want another front in America.)
Had King George not been mad...and his advisors short-sighted..we would still be British...LOL!~
King George was barely a figurehead at that point. In fact, the Monarchs lost most of their real power back with Queen Anne. It was a DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED PARLIAMENT that decided that they weren't going to put up with the Slave Rapists and their shit. And, yes, as the 1619 Project is showing, a lot of that was a fear that British would abolish slavery. (Which they did long before we did.)
The Whiskey Rebellion...the only time a sitting President commanded troops in the field---and. eventually the tax was repealed--and the US would subsist off of import tariffs alone.
It wasn't the policy that was my point, buddy. It was the fact that 'nuts with gun' took on the government, the government smacked them down, hard.
BTW..Washington sympathized with the Rebels..and eventually pardoned those who had been set to hang.
Probably should have hanged them. That'd be a lesson. Should have hanged the Confederate leaders, too.
