the bleak thing to keep in mind, is that this cowardly passage, published under a pseudonym, is positively mild for a founding father. They were cartoonishly evil men, in general. Another bleak thing to keep in mind is that this is John Adams who, along with Thomas Paine, is the go-to Founding Father for whitewashing America's origin story, because he is the one of the few founding fathers and early presidents who was against slavery.
Also isn't it funny that these proto-bourgeois white men always used race-based chattel slavery as their numero-uno metaphor for ... having to pay taxes to the English crown on the goods they trafficked? Isn't that utterly absurd? To equate being chained, whipped, and worked to death with being a business owner who has to pay taxes?

the above letter, if you follow the archive link, comes from a US government website that preserves washington's letters. So that's how you know the source is real (btw).
