        To be blunt, I can’t think of a better reason to go to war than to eliminate slavers and those that would regard an entire race of people as not worthy of respect.

        The only other good reason for war is for defense. To protect yourself and your countrymen from a hostile force, but I digress.

        That shit should have never been allowed. But here we are.

    Jokes aside, as an American, I wish the US had lost the revolutionary war. Commonwealth territories ended up with socialized healthcare, a far better democracy, and far better labor rights, while the US ended up with fascist oligarchy. No thanks. I’d gladly trade my coffee for tea if it means I get a real democracy instead of a fascist oligarchy

      Because they were ahead on industry and slavery was less profitable. Don’t think England was going around thinking it was wrong.
