Hamiltonian America.Chapter 11.Bookworm.pg.12,13

"Of course it met bottleneck with the legislative chamber at South Carolina failed to support Congressional resolution and he couldn't sail through with his program.Laurens agonised a great deal over this shocking futility."

"What was so special at this futility?"

"I think kind grievous one.One South Carolina had a special stake in slave trade"

"Oh no I could recall Charleston now!"

"Exactly that's the headache.Charleston had the fiery status as the largest port of entry for slaves in the entire North America."

"Meaning it constitute a significant income based for the rascals right?"

"Exactly!"

"I see"

"And you know in most cases slaveholders and planters in general lived in fear of their slaves.Slaves insurrection to be precise as their main dread and so regularly inspected slave quarters for hidden weapons.They sometimes rejected the option of serving in the continental army for the same fear that slaves insurrection might eat up their families.To make matter worse the industrial north was still quite indecisive to overrule the southern counterpart over this nagging threat of slavery issues.Infact the management of regional conflicts above all precedences was premised on the maintenance of unity for the entire union and a sanctimonious creed that should not to be toyed with.This inference dictated the fact that slavery was a superstition not considering matter that slavery owners had joined the revolution to retain slavery .Then the whole table of gamesmanship was turned upside overnight on 1775 November when the royal governor of Virginia issued proclamation and offered slaves ready to defend crown their own freedom.Then the whole camp of slavery owners stampeded into the patriot camp."

"Oh I could recall that stage when Samuel Johnson when he protested from London made the remarks "How is it that we hear the loudest yelps for liberty from the drivers of negroes"

"Absolutely.Did you not hear that Horace Walpole echoed the same sentiments when he says"I should think the souls of the Africans would sit heavily on the swords of the Americans."

"American hypocrisy was evident to many patriots"

"Absolutely very glaring.Little wonder prior to the declaration of independence Abigail Adams bewailed the scenario when she says "It always appeared a most iniquitous scheme to me to fight for ourselves for what we are robbing and plundering from those who have as good a right to freedom as we have."

"How did they take the bitter pill of General Sir Henry Clinton when in June 1779 reciprocated with placebo?"

"Yea you re right Clinton offered same freedom to runaway slaves who defected to the British side.It was truly an everlasting disgrace to rebellious colonists.However the defeat of Lauren plan was a monumental dent and Schick to Hamilton and was evident in the correspondence to Laurens."...but my hopes are very feeble.Prejudice and private interest will be antagonists too powerful for public spirit and public good ".
