Thread: Independance Day

    Britian abolished slavery in most British colonies on August 1, 1834 under the Slavery Abolition Act.

    If the US had of remained under British rule they most likely would have been included... in short the US was 30 years behind England on this issue.

    FWIW - Mauritania is the world's last country to abolish slavery and the country didn't make slavery a crime until 2007.

    I'm not very knowledgeable on either British or American slavery history, so please research away! (It might be an education for me!)

    Thanks Rob, your post was outstanding.

    Indeed I did do some research...you and Shane covered the big items but slavery amongst the colonies (English the world over) was given the blind eye even with it banned in England. I was wrong about the Dutch...they were ruthless.

    So to the question of wether or not America would have kept slaves if the British won the war...I think that perhaps the southern states would have eventually declared war on England. Their entire economy was built on it.

    National Anthem sung to video of shots of LA from helicopter showing all of the ‘illegal’ fireworks being lit. Cool trolling and parody.

    If that's real...then it's FRIGGING INCREDIBLE! I've got to know if it's real or fake...if you know one way or the other, do tell.

    If it's real, the liberals are going to get floor mopped in a few months. It was lit up real good here in Denver, but this is just insane.

    The video is real. A local LA news outlet was airing a similar one from their own chopper, and the comments from the anchors were hilarious - they were all freaking out that all of those were going off in spite of the laws banning them, they were completely stunned and in total shock, almost panicking.
