Exactly lol there's no way the British were going to actually honour and safekeep their land forever. They'd have just bided their time and invaded later. Guess that wasn't soon enough for the heroic founding fathers.

i've always wondered how much this english court ruling influenced the founding fathers of the US to rebel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somerset_v_Stewart

a lot, apparently. this article's been expanded since i last looked at it, lol.

I didn't even know about this specific case but wow, nice catch. So yeah I rest my case lol. Unless maybe it was just a weird coincidence that the vast majority of the founding fathers' wealth rested on enslaved people's labour.
