re: Why did America fight for independence from England?

Slavery was abolished in Great Britain in 1833 — over a half-century after the founding of the United States.

Also working completely against Hannah-Jones’ narrative is the fact that almost all the states north of the Mason-Dixon Line had voted to abolish slavery by the end of the Revolutionary War in 1783.

By 1804, all the Northern states had passed legislation ending slavery.

You know I once read an alternative history book where the Nazis developed time travel and went back in time to upgrade the Confederate weapons to help them defeat the Union, so when the Nazis would rise to power, the US would be divided. Maybe we should put that in our textbooks too.
