Anyways just to show you what a stupid and ignorant argument that one is, just like all your arguments really, what do you make of this: 1502 First African slaves taken to the Americas. 1776 Declaration of Independence made by Continental Congress 1781 Effective end of the land war between US and UK 1783 Cessation of Hostilities between US and UK 1787 Constitution of the US adopted by the Continental Convention. 1790 William Wilberforce presents the first abolition bill to the House of Commons, but it does not pass 1791 US adopted Bill of Rights. 1807 The Transatlantic Slave Trade is abolished by the British Parliament. US also bans the slave trade, to take effect the following year. 1833 Abolition of Slavery Act – Britain abolishes slavery and provides for the emancipation of enslaved people in the British West Indies, to take effect in August 1834. 1861 US Civil War starts (one of the reasons being slavery) 1865 The Thirteenth Amendment marks the abolition of slavery in the USA at the end of the American Civil War. Seems like you Yanks were a lot fonder of slavery than us. Last edited by Shasown; 12-01-2011 at 10:49 PM. |
