fml, I misread everything.
So you were being ironic.
So the American revolution didn't spread mass awareness to slavery being wrong?
I get what he might meant by saying this. when I read stuff like this.
not defending how he said it or that he even said it. but there might be a grain of truth to this. of course some people might have thought slavery was wrong, but they didn't act on it and the revolution had a big impact on ending it though.
"The American Revolution had profound effects on the institution of slavery. Several thousand slaves won their freedom by serving on both sides of the War of Independence. As a result of the Revolution, a surprising number of slaves were manumitted, while thousands of others freed themselves by running away.

this guy is no idiot. he might use words so every idiot understands what he says, so it's easily digestable.
imo there is nothing wrong to what he said and the dems are spinning their usual nonsense around his words. since he leaves little room for attacks on his other stuff. but I don't know nothing about him other than his wiki, which is quite impressive.
I wouldn't vote for him though, he seems to be pretty radical.
