He fought for what? Just so tRump can tear it to pieces?!!!!!
To continue the ownership of slaves and further the cause of white Protestant males superiority.
@bobwjr Yes, been studying US history and politics. A lot of dirt in his personal life. I suspect he had PTSD. Which is much overlooked throughout history in key figures who have seen battle. Ney's breakdown at Waterloo for example.
Now would George approve of Trump? I consider that unlikely. I think the only POTUS who would like him would be Andrew Jackson, but then he too was emensley flawed.
@Sofabeast Not just for Protestants.
“Washington often emphasized that religious liberty was not just a blessing, but a right.25 He wrote to the United Baptist Churches of Virginia in May of 1789,
...no one would be more zealous than myself to establish effectual barriers against the horrors of spiritual tyranny, and every species of religious persecution—For you, doubtless, remember that I have often expressed my sentiment, that every man, conducting himself as a good citizen, and being accountable to God alone for his religious opinions, ought to be protected in worshipping the Deity according to the dictates of his own conscience.26”
I don’t think the revolutionary cause had anything to do with slavery. The goal was to establish an independent country.
