I'm guessing the lefty answer is because England was going to outlaw slavery and those evil colonists wanted to prevent it

Because England fought the French and Indians on American soil and therefore thought they could tax Americans to pay for it?

that.


and taxation without representation.


somebody recently told me that Texas only fought for Independence so we could keep slaves when Mexico was about to outlaw it.

my Texas education shite on slave owners pretty hard, but they skipped that one.

They didn't have ice back in those days. It was hot tea.

I'm ashamed that I was right merely on a calculated guess.

These people are so predictable.
