There's that line from the British dude who read the Declaration of Independence and dismissed it saying something like "it's ridiculous to talk about freedom while you're holding a whip over your slaves"
Found it
“If there be an object truly ridiculous in nature it is an American patriot signing resolutions of independency with the one hand and with the other brandishing a whip over his affrighted slaves.’’ - Thomas Day, of TERF Island
It's been clear from the start that the US was born of injustice and violence. It's everywhere in the historical record, and denying it is pure, odious ideology.
Yep, reactionaries today pretend "oh the founding fathers were just products of their times, slavery was normal then". But there was plenty of anti-slavery sentiment, we just don't talk about it. Hell, the French - not exactly enlightened folks w/r/t race - abolished slavery in Haiti within a few years of the US constitution being ratified.
I think the way the French abolished slavery in Haiti was literally the most destructive way you could possibly do it, short of actually genociding all your slaves.
Yeah true.
