one of the reasons that America fought for independence was because the king of England forbid the freeing of slaves

*"one of the reasons that America fought for independence was because the king of England forbid the freeing of slaves"*
Well, that's a new one on me...

the freeing of slaves dates all the way back to rome if not further

edit forbidding of it

you dont conquer capture enslave and then free a bunch of hostile outsiders in your own nation

talk about suicidal

oh wait

@Mandatory Carry it was in Crowder's history of the US series

@Deleted User, @Agent Smith,
Alexander HAMILTON was a member of the New York Manumission Committee (*Alexander HAMILTON,* Ron CHERNOW). Freeing slaves stretches back centuries; A freed slave in Rome wore (drum roll) a red cover (🤔 doesn't that sound familiar 😉). I'm having a lot of difficulty beleiving that a, he'd do so, and b, that this was a casus belli (*"uh oh, Carry's using the big words* again, *damned Sheldon"*) when there were a dozen other *legitimate* issues... Beleive it or not, disarming the colonials was a response to perceived rising rebellion... Which, ironically was a self-fullfilling prophecy.

@Mandatory Carry I don't believe the claim that the founders rebelled because the king wouldn't let them free their slaves. If that's something crowder is claiming then it fits in with all the other reasons why I stopped watching him.

The founders rebelled for the same reason the south ceceded; being diminished to a colonial holding for the purpose of resource extraction at the benefit of government connected industrialists. Rejection of the mercantile acts by the colonists is a direct analogy of the nullification crisis by the south. Eighteenth and Nineteenth century industrialism was dependent on a subservient vassal state from which to extract resources. The colonists rebelled against it just as the south did.

The Civil War was far, far more complicated than that...

yes and no

yes there was more involved

no the goal was not something else

The goal of northern industrialists was to force the south into the same vassal conditions as all other industrial powers did

The US wanted to compete with imperial euro nations, but had no colonies

They decided to make the south their colonies

They tried for a century to bring the south to heel with trade tarrifs

Every time, the southern states threatened to secede over the tarrifs

In the nullification crisis, the sitting president, Jackson, had to travel to the south the avoid secession

tarrifs were targetted at southern markets only

the taxes from those tarrifs would be used to fund western states

Congress was passing tarrifs to bleed the south of money to pay for the west

Its the Henry Clay plan

The tarrifs would make it impossible for the south to trade with the world, and be reliant on the north

Everyone could see what the plan was.
