  9. at U.S. Constitutional Convention in 1787, northern states engage in brinksmanship and get deal on phase out of slavery by southern states

    So you accuse all European states from profitting from the Atlantic slave trade, follow up with hitting Galician serf peasants with white priviledge, and when it doesnt stick insinuate they comitted thoughtcrime against Jews, and now I am accused of diminishing horrors of chattel slavery (and...

  19. WI No Prussia, Prussian Hohenzollerns die out early (in 1568)?

    That's more than 200 years ahead of us, until then things can change in many ways.
