Almost to the day of the Civil War, as Britain would abolish slavery in 1833, and it absolutely would have sparked a revolt in the South. And that in turn, presuming a Southern win, would have led to much of the area we call the US now likely being a third world shithole, instead of a rich second world shithole. And nevermind that the UK can hardly claim to be that much better. Their political climate isnt that different from ours, and just as an example of their modern violations of civil liberties is using children as spies against terrorists, gangs, and other criminals. Need I mention the mass surveillance thats been rendered normal in the UK? --- Maxwell is -not- going to kill herself. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
