Did you know some smart-ass Tory wrote a rejoinder to the Declaration of Independence? It scored some points:
Like most attack ads, it also contained a few facts that the rebels didn't want to face. You remember the part where the Declaration says King George "has incited domestic insurrections among us…"? John Lind points out that what the rebels were really upset about was that the King had "offered freedom to the slaves." "Is it for them to say that it is tyranny to bid a slave be free?"
Lind goes on to mock the founders for writing noble words stating, "all men are created equal" and asserting "Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" and then in the same document, complaining about the King for encouraging the slaves to rise up.
"Is it for them to complain of the offer of freedom held out to these wretched beings? of the offer of reinstating that equality, which, in this very paper, is declared to be the gift of God to all?"
Good one, John.
