It was a sign of the times and the values of that era. It would be like in 100 years time the world could be full of vegetarians and they may call us savages for failing to abolish the eating of meat.

Well, after the American revolution we continued to conquer and colonise until we owned a quarter of the globe and governing a higher percentage of its population. This statement alone disproves your original point that the American revolution led to the British empire unravelling.

Too much to drink?

We abolished slavery before you did, that is fact.

Now do you have any evidence to support your claim that Britain continued slavery until the Americans got rid of it? Or have you just been wasting my time again?

Still being provocatively ignorant.

No

Can you provide evidence of the British providing the Americans with slaves after we had abolished it?

Now you're just being provocatively ignorant.

We abolished slavery long before you did and we fought against slave ships in the oceans. How can you possibly claim that Britain got rid of slavery after the U.S did?

Are you talking about before or after the American revolution?

Every point that Guitarguy makes could easily be applied in the other direction. I could copy out his statement and use it to support my own side.

While I will not disagree to the point that America has an influence on Britain, that influence is nullified by the influence Britain has on America. Thus, it is stupid for Guitarguy to claim that Britain should thank America for "food" (etc).

"You are full of shit when you say that you didn't call him an obvious troll."

Well if he isn't a troll he must be stupid.

That the American revolution led to the British Empire unravelling. Surely someone of your intelligence know how stupid this claim is.
