Hamiltonian America.Chapter 11.page 11,12,13...

"He was uncomfortable to structural inequities he witnessed with Washington's staff particularly as it concerned his best friend John Laurens.When in November 1778 prior to resignation of Henry Laurens as president did Congress not bent on making John Laurens lieutenant colonel to make him take the rewards as valorous service did he not decline the offer?"

"Of course he did,but I wonder how come he finally got it "

"Yes exactly but he later accepted that offer when it was renewed in March 1779.

He barely urgent him to refuse this commission though perturbed nonetheless."The only thing I see wrong in the affair is this, Congress by their conduct......appear to have intended to confer a privilege,an honor,a mark of distinction....which they withhold from other gentlemen in the military family.This carries with it an air of preference which though we can all truly say we love your character and admire your military merit cannot fail to give some of us uneasy sensations."

They both shared same philosophy like other abolitionists who believed the freedom of slaves was an inseparable, irrevocable and irreplaceable part of the revolution as well as source of "badly needed manpower".

"Do you have evidence for the Lauren spirit too?"

"When he said to a friend"I think that we Americans at least in the southern colonies cannot contend a good grace for liberty until we shall have enfranchised our slaves"

"Humm.I see"

"He spoke convincingly of this yearnings prior to the signatory of declaration of independence."

"What an audacious stand for the scion of very powerful South Carolina slaveholder!"

"From the very moment he accepted to join Washington family,had campaigned for emancipation of slaves to join continental army.Subsequently he witnessed five thousand blacks served alongside patriots and despite their frequent relegation into non combat positions they did serve.Surprisingly Rhode Island short of soldiers was forced to raise a black regiment in 1778 and therefore promised slaves their freedom."

"What foolproof or more of that do you have to defend Laurens's humanitarian pedigree?"

"He offered more than a lip service apprising his patriarch of his own willingness to take his heirloom in the mould of black battalion well armed to defend South Carolina.'

"So finally these blacks were Yoruba from South Carolina who fought for the American independence?"

"Exactly undebatable and Towards the end it became a scenario that acquired increasing exigency as the British redirected southward their military operations with expectation in favour of loyalist courses and sympathies.When they captured Augusta and Savannah in January 1779 they threatened South Carolina then Laurens resigned from Washington's family went back to defend his home state stopped at Philadelphia solicited for two to four black batallions from the congressional support for the continental army."

"So I see that was where Hamilton lent him support at the congress right?"

"Yes .So in favor of this fundamental reasons Hamilton came to his aid and drafted him a supportive letter which was delivered to John Jay.Jay had succeeded Laurens as the new head or president of the congress."

"How did he convince a slave's ability like the Caucasian?"

"Listen he says"I have not the least doubt that the negroes will make very excellent soldiers with proper management and I will venture to pronounce that they cannot be put in better hands than those of Mr Laurens."

"So that was how he corrected the fallacies that blacks were cowards and push the Yorubas as the first set of blacks to fight for America."

"Don't forget same Yoruba built white house and built New York"

"Exactly because slaves were the first products to be sold in new York"

"Yes the so called slaves market opened up the riches of the New York."

"So he doused the heresies that they were genetically inferior right?"

"More than that added to the foolproof of their loyalty and sense of subordination would make them the best of the men at arms.Of course they did proof 200 years after at the second world war when the black pilots same Yorubas singlehandedly won the war for the America."

"Unbelievable!"

"Hamilton was right in almost every of his prediction.That sense of subordination was acquired from the lifelong service of servitude to make them better soldiers than the white soldiers.The federal government did not dispute this golden initiatives and the logics of Hamiltonian proposition but the trouble came with the South Carolina's legislature."

"So it wasn't approved?"

"They barely did"

"Why?"
