1) It was. 2) Dark but true. 3) It's disturbing to read our real history, yes. 4) That you would pretend slavery wasn't a major part of our colonial & early American economy is indeed slander on all those who fought and died to abolish slavery.

The PRIMARY reason for breaking away from Britain was the slave owners' fear that the mother country was about to make their livelihood illegal. Fact.
