CHATTEL SLAVERY AND THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

CHATTEL SLAVERY AND THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

George Washington and his “lawless rebels” railed against the King for his unconscionable villainy in trying to take away their freedom to maintain the ungodly system of chattel slavery. The King, having made incredible wealth through the ungodly system of chattel slavery, found that it was no longer profitable. You see, the enslaved Africans simply refused to accept their lot. They, like George Washington and his bunch, preferred death to slavery.

It is monstrously ironic that the Founding Fathers’ major concern was the King’s intention to abolish the ungodly system of chattel slavery and thereby deprive the white supremacist colonists of their chief source of wealth.

The sad reality is that for the Founding Fathers the principal right was the right to maintain the ungodly system of chattel slavery.
