We werent chasing slaves, you dont march troops for slaves when you can buy more

We were stealing your stuff

@Capitán Alatriste knock knock, it's the secret policia

Atlantic slave trade was illegal in the US, and they were angry at their slaves running off to Spanish lands where Slavery was illegal

So they decided to violate Spanish sovereignty and sent in an army

>spain
what soverignty

We didnt have to ship them in, we bred them

europeans have no power here

@EnderOctanus specially with the massa sperm

octoroons fetched a high price

Like Spain has never violated foreign sovereignty before lmao

Such as?

Spain did not ban slavery in it colonies not before 1886

Reconquista?

Nice holy wars you waged.

@Nordhand from the article you posted

Yes, as long as they converted to Catholicism, neat little catch you lot had.

Sure, but it didn't stop them

`Spain abolished slavery in Puerto Rico in 1873 and in Cuba in 1886`

Hm, kind of late isn't it?

Thats like right when we went to war for said territories

the main reason why slavery did end in Cuba in 1886 was that it did get it independence from Spain

Uhm Spain lost Cuba in 1898, slavery was already illegal by then

I mean come on man, I don't expect you to feel guilt over shit hundreds of years old, because we don't. But don't act like we started all the problems.

Well, it's not like I brought up this discussion

We had a system setup for over 200 years and now the Europeans are trying to butt in again when they're on fire.

How are we butting into US politics and system now?

America should be able to just ignore everyone, and be allowed to defend our borders.

So basically become North Korea

I say we cut our alliances and let people choose their fates, and just secure the Americas.

so we should meddle in your elections?

we should intervene?

Europe complains when we back off the global stage and then calls us world police when we intervene.

We should take our massive cock and slap all of you around before making you suck it?

We don't complain when you back off the global state, we complain when you make a mess of things and then just leave like nothing happened

We are tired of caring about the rest of the world. Why can't the world handle its own problems without us watching?

If we keep trying to fix things, how can we ever back off?

@EnderOctanus Because ironically, it's the system your country built in the last decades

What do you expect us to do, then? Sit and babysit everyone until the end of time?
