I have been reading a few articles by Vox lately and honestly, they appear to be the greatest concentrating point for morons on the interwebs.
Exactly who was talking about abolition in the colonies in 1770s, other than Governor Dunmore, who was offering freedom to slaves who would slits their masters' throats and fight for the Crown? This moron makes it sound like a bunch of colonists were sitting around saying to themselves, "Well, the British would like us to emancipate our slaves and the only way to keep our slaves is to secede form Britain. Let's go!"
In reality, the Virginia House of Burgesses passed acts outlawing the slave trade many times before Virginia seceded from Britain, and the King's Governor vetoed all of these bills. Hmm. Maybe the Brits weren't so interested in abolition as young Master Matthews would have us believe.
This "author" went full-moron on us. I'm surprised his brain can generate enough electricity to keep that tiny heart of his pumping. He is "bag of hammers" stupid. This is what happens when in history and civics classes, young minds are fed the poisons of the the "blame America first" crowd.
