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.
