"3 reasons the American Revolution Was a Mistake"
Just in time for the 4th of July, the Left is showing its true colors, and they are not red, white or blue. As the Left attempts to degrade and strip history away from American public spaces, libraries and museums, they are now coming out against the American Revolution altogether.
In a new article by Vox, liberal writer Dylan Matthews explains three reasons why the American Revolution was a mistake. Here, we are going to give you a glimpse into the mind of the contemporary liberal, where the American Revolution is seen as a problem, but Che Guevara is an icon.
Vox’s first argument against the American Revolution is that abolition would have come faster without American independence. Here’s what Matthews writes:
The main reason the revolution was a mistake is that the British Empire, in all likelihood, would have abolished slavery earlier than the US did, and with less bloodshed.
Abolition in most of the British empire occurred in 1834, following the passage of theSlavery Abolition Act. That left out India, but slavery was banned there too in 1843. In England itself, slavery was illegal at least going back to 1772. That’s decades earlier than the United States.
