Ain't that the truth! I remember reading somewhere that most of the

But if the Brits won, we'd have to pay taxes. It was worth fighting for NO
taxes. Oh, wait, that didn't quite work out did it?


But then, you'd have abandoned slavery 30 years earlier without a
massive murderous civil war. :-)

In 1833, the UK Parliament passed the Slavery Abolition Act,
effectively resulting in the abolition of Slavery in the British
empire.
