That’s most likely correct, my wording should have been better. I just chafe when I see the america settler colonial projects bid for independence framed only as an issue of taxation. With more reading of diverse sources Slavery focuses into one of the major motivators.
Further context can be found in the way the slavery conflict was written into the declaration of independence. Even with independence from Britain won, the uniting of the northern industrial and southern slave economies was on extremely rocky footing. By examining the Civil War you can trace the roots of major issues to the American War of Independence.
It's fascinating to me so I'll add it to my list of things to look into. Thanks for including it in your comments.
Slaves were just as instrumental in the war of independence as they were in the Civil War. During both conflicts they were misled by false promises of freedom. It’s a very fascinating part of American history that has been largely overlooked by white male historians, go figure.
I ended up finding this article about the fate of African Americans after the Yorktown Treaty. Interesting stuff.
The book Settlers is always highly recommended and it delves into this event a little, a good companion piece could be The 1619 Project as well!
Name more iconic duo than Americans and seceding to keep slavery. It happened thrice.
