RUSH TRANSCRIPT Over the ░░░░░░░░ day weekend we saw ░░░░░░░░ leftists using the 16 ░░░░░░░░ project s revisionist history ░░░░░░░░ laughably argue that the ░░░░░░░░ driver of the American ░░░░░░░░ was to protect slavery ░░░░░░░░ say the colonists saw ░░░░░░░░ becoming more and more ░░░░░░░░ to slavery and so ░░░░░░░░ fought back to protect ░░░░░░░░ peculiar institution as Lincoln ░░░░░░░░ later call it There ░░░░░░░░ much wrong with this ░░░░░░░░ historical nonsense One piece ░░░░░░░░ evidence I d like ░░░░░░░░ point your attention to ░░░░░░░░ an early version of ░░░░░░░░ declaration of independence Thomas ░░░░░░░░ the primary author drafted ░░░░░░░░ 168 word passage decrying ░░░░░░░░ and its imposition on ░░░░░░░░ colonies by the British ░░░░░░░░ He argued that king ░░░░░░░░ quote has waged cruel ░░░░░░░░ against human nature itself ░░░░░░░░ its most sacred rights ░░░░░░░░ life liberty in the ░░░░░░░░ of a distant people ░░░░░░░░ never offended him captivating ░░░░░░░░ them into slavery in ░░░░░░░░ hemisphere or to incur ░░░░░░░░ death in their transportation ░░░░░░░░ Jefferson went on to ░░░░░░░░ slavery piratical warfare and ░░░░░░░░ assemblage of horrors Historians ░░░░░░░░ not have an exact ░░░░░░░░ as to why this ░░░░░░░░ was removed from the ░░░░░░░░ version We know it ░░░░░░░░ taken out sometime during ░░░░░░░░ month of June in ░░░░░░░░ 76 when the draft ░░░░░░░░ before a pre select ░░░░░░░░ including members like John ░░░░░░░░ and Benjamin franklin Jefferson ░░░░░░░░ blamed two southern states ░░░░░░░░ its removal specifically South ░░░░░░░░ and Georgia It s ░░░░░░░░ to look down our ░░░░░░░░ at them but that ░░░░░░░░ be missing the forest ░░░░░░░░ the trees We have ░░░░░░░░ remember as my last ░░░░░░░░ tonight Chris Flannery the ░░░░░░░░ of the American story ░░░░░░░░ and a senior fellow ░░░░░░░░ the claremont institute reminds ░░░░░░░░ in his latest episode ░░░░░░░░ has been around since ░░░░░░░░ beginning of human history ░░░░░░░░ was practiced among the ░░░░░░░░ peoples of North America ░░░░░░░░ and after Europeans arrived ░░░░░░░░ it was legal in ░░░░░░░░ American colony in the ░░░░░░░░ prior to the American ░░░░░░░░ Then a great historic ░░░░░░░░ began a revolution in ░░░░░░░░ hearts and minds of ░░░░░░░░ British colonists that would ░░░░░░░░ make them Americans This ░░░░░░░░ was at its heart ░░░░░░░░ anti slavery movement Slavery ░░░░░░░░ been around since beginning ░░░░░░░░ human history practiced in ░░░░░░░░ form where you find ░░░░░░░░ beings China greece rome ░░░░░░░░ Europe Russia Middle East ░░░░░░░░ central and south America ░░░░░░░░ with advent and spread ░░░░░░░░ christianity where all are ░░░░░░░░ and love god as ░░░░░░░░ they find it hard ░░░░░░░░ resist the old serpent ░░░░░░░░ said you toil and ░░░░░░░░ bread and I ll ░░░░░░░░ it Slavery was practiced ░░░░░░░░ and avenue Europeans arrived ░░░░░░░░ in the years prior ░░░░░░░░ American revolution Then a ░░░░░░░░ historic change began A ░░░░░░░░ in the hearts and ░░░░░░░░ of British kol ists ░░░░░░░░ eventually make them Americans ░░░░░░░░ revolutions that pointed to ░░░░░░░░ abolition of slavery for ░░░░░░░░ colonist slaves as well ░░░░░░░░ with that with me ░░░░░░░░ Good to be here ░░░░░░░░ say American revolution was ░░░░░░░░ slavery revolution What do ░░░░░░░░ mean by that Yeah ░░░░░░░░ Project is shamelessly dishonored ░░░░░░░░ parents should be aware ░░░░░░░░ it It s coming ░░░░░░░░ a neighborhood near you ░░░░░░░░ out for it The ░░░░░░░░ revolution was a revolution ░░░░░░░░ thinking that took place ░░░░░░░░ the years leading up ░░░░░░░░ 1776 and continued after ░░░░░░░░ The colonist began and ░░░░░░░░ ended as revolutionaries asserting ░░░░░░░░ rights of man under ░░░░░░░░ s god That s ░░░░░░░░ real American revolution and ░░░░░░░░ the heart of that ░░░░░░░░ is the essential anti ░░░░░░░░ Said it a thousand ░░░░░░░░ ways I ll quote ░░░░░░░░ he said the kol ░░░░░░░░ by the law of ░░░░░░░░ are free born as ░░░░░░░░ all men are White ░░░░░░░░ black And that s ░░░░░░░░ All men are born ░░░░░░░░ All men are kraeud ░░░░░░░░ It means no man ░░░░░░░░ nature a master or ░░░░░░░░ Whatever his color And ░░░░░░░░ is the essential anti ░░░░░░░░ principle and American revolution ░░░░░░░░ it comes to the ░░░░░░░░ and affect on the ░░░░░░░░ How did the revolution ░░░░░░░░ to change perhaps the ░░░░░░░░ of slavery in America ░░░░░░░░ you mention slavery has ░░░░░░░░ around a long time ░░░░░░░░ 13 colonies before the ░░░░░░░░ And the anti slavery ░░░░░░░░ principle took years for ░░░░░░░░ to think through and ░░░░░░░░ her own lives By ░░░░░░░░ years after the revolution ░░░░░░░░ states had passed laws ░░░░░░░░ or gradually a boll ░░░░░░░░ slavery The great prohibited ░░░░░░░░ in the territory where ░░░░░░░░ states of Ohio Illinois ░░░░░░░░ would be formed Even ░░░░░░░░ southern states where slavery ░░░░░░░░ legal several states passed ░░░░░░░░ that made it easier ░░░░░░░░ emancipates slaves individually and ░░░░░░░░ of slaves were emancipated ░░░░░░░░ a result of that ░░░░░░░░ slavery importation of slaves ░░░░░░░░ prohibited for the whole ░░░░░░░░ and none of those ░░░░░░░░ would have happened except ░░░░░░░░ anti slavery principle of ░░░░░░░░ revolution No reason for ░░░░░░░░ things to happen In ░░░░░░░░ even 10 years after ░░░░░░░░ I think we should ░░░░░░░░ keep own Civil War ░░░░░░░░ in America over slavery ░░░░░░░░ we know 10 years ░░░░░░░░ there s slaves who ░░░░░░░░ being sold on the ░░░░░░░░ in parts of Egypt ░░░░░░░░ And parts of north ░░░░░░░░ and parts of Middle ░░░░░░░░ as well Forced them ░░░░░░░░ stop the transatlantic slave ░░░░░░░░ force them to stop ░░░░░░░░ slavery as we know ░░░░░░░░ When it comes down ░░░░░░░░ it when we look ░░░░░░░░ our own nation After ░░░░░░░░ revolution there were founding ░░░░░░░░ who still owned slaves ░░░░░░░░ Jefferson comes to mind ░░░░░░░░ a few others how ░░░░░░░░ we be thinking about ░░░░░░░░ Slavery was deeply entrenched ░░░░░░░░ Yeah that s true ░░░░░░░░ south and even though ░░░░░░░░ statesman publicly denounce the ░░░░░░░░ of slavery They found ░░░░░░░░ impossible to overcome the ░░░░░░░░ interest The songful interest ░░░░░░░░ had in the evil ░░░░░░░░ and eventually found it ░░░░░░░░ to live with the ░░░░░░░░ anti slavery principles of ░░░░░░░░ and selfishly attached to ░░░░░░░░ of that first decades ░░░░░░░░ 19 century leading politicians ░░░░░░░░ explicitly to repute to ░░░░░░░░ to argue that slavery ░░░░░░░░ a positive good That ░░░░░░░░ a tragic failure of ░░░░░░░░ anti slavery revolution Why ░░░░░░░░ have to fight a ░░░░░░░░ War and pass 14 ░░░░░░░░ amendments to complete the ░░░░░░░░ slavery American revolution and ░░░░░░░░ the country a new ░░░░░░░░ of freedom Coming up
