The American Revolution Was Not Revolutionary
“The American Revolution was not revolutionary.” Since the colonial rebellion maintained the same slavery, wealth inequity, and power of White elites it had under Britain, was it just another war?
Watch what Kellie Carter Jackson, author of WE REFUSE, has to say about what a true revolution accomplishes.

    "Oh my ancestors were your slaves" you do realize they were already slaves in africa as well right? The white man didn't hunt your people down, they traded for them because they were already slaves to another tribe. My Ancestors on my father's side were enslaved, and on my mother's side they were eradicated. Their land was stolen from under their feet and the ones that didn't give away their land were slaughtered. That doesn't make it right to come back with vengeance. You will never heal if you seek destruction or "reparations" for the living that never did those heinous things like their ancestors did. It will only restart the cycle of hatred. Something you clowns need to understand is if you force people to do something they don't want to do, only problems will rise. Thats the whole reason we have history. To remember it and not repeat it. It is not criminal to honor history. It has never been thought of that way. We must practice assimilation, not rebrand segregation. The only way to live is together, otherwise we will die segregated and apart.

    My man said it best so you want people who didn’t own slaves to pay people who were never slaves money. They don’t deserve for what? Then who pays those people for the slavery they had in their lineage? I guess those people who get the reparations could turn around and hand it right back to the people that just paid them and then everybody could be paid for reparations so let’s all just keep our money in our pockets.

    No that’s not the issue. The issue is demanding free money for being slaves when you were never slaves from people who never owned slaves. If we go that route…how much should the black community pay the union soldiers who helped fight for their freedom? Or how about instead of trying to be the victim for a life you never lived instead pour that energy into modern day slavery that is actually actively still going on.

    This is an interesting take. I think the stated ideals of the Revolution is what made it sort of revolutionary, but that the resulting government was definitely hijacked by establishment elites who wanted to more power for themselves. American government would look very different today if everyone was a part of the process for designing it.

    of all the Presidents of the United States, only Abraham Lincoln bequeathed a Principle of Government Based on Guided Democracy to the People of the United States. One of the greatest legacies that brought the United States into a new era was the birth of the Emancipation Proclamation which followed the legal basis of the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776. by President Thomas Jefferson who mandated That All Men Are Created Equal, which legally states that there is Equality Before the Law and Equality Before God. Lincoln conceptualized this idea because he determined that whatever your skin color, black or white, you are still the same before God and your rights are protected as a legal citizen of the United States before the law, this is the basis of thinking of a leader who has a noble and wise heart. The Emancipation Proclamation was strengthened by the 13th Amendment of the United States Constitution, making it permanent. This is what makes the name of President Abraham Honest Old Abe's Lincoln remembered as the Father of the Nation who succeeded in abolishing slavery, uniting the United States and reconstructing the Southern region of the United States into industry and trade after slavery was abolished, Lincoln even changed the United States Constitution for the better. Lincoln is also well known in the country where I live, Indonesia, and is even remembered as the great and intelligent Founding Father of the United States. I'm from Indonesia. God bless 🙏

    Nearly 200 years before slavery was abolished in the US, Black freedom-seekers journeyed south instead of north to a place that promised freedom. In October 1687, a dugout canoe arrived at the shores of St Augustine, then a settlement in Spanish Florida and now the oldest continuously occupied city in the mainland US. The canoe carried eight men and two women, one of whom was holding a toddler in her arms. The travellers were Black fugitives who had escaped enslavement by British plantation owners in the Carolinas to the north. After disembarking from their vessel, they headed to the town centre in search of freedom "They went to present themselves to the governor of St Augustine," said Jane Landers, a professor of history at Vanderbilt University and a director of Slave Societies Digital Archive, which documents the history of enslaved Africans and their descendants. "They explained that they are asking for his protection, and that they wanted to become Catholics."

    Also, the constitution only granted voting rights to LAND OWNING white men. And how could a white man back then come to own land? Only by taking it from natives. The constitution of 1787 was an invitation. “You want rights within this republic, fellow white man? Then you must become a fellow conqueror.”
