This was inspired by an earlier thread of mine.
For those of you who may not know, just last year, Dr. Gerald Horne of the University of Houston published a book detailing an alternative view of the American Revolution, titled, "
The Counter-Revolution of 1776".
Unfortunately, the real-life book was, sadly, little more than a badly biased piece of pseudo-history (with a sparse few actual facts thrown in) that essentially unfairly demonized the Patriots, and made the claim that they seceded because Britain was about to abolish slavery in the Americans; a claim which had no real basis in any historical truth whatsoever.
But what if, in some other universe, that it hadn't been pseudo-history? What if the American rebellion *had* been primarily touched off by the imminent abolition of North American slavery, or even the fear of such?
So, let's plot this out. What PODs might be required to make this scenario happen, or even something close to it?
