GB socialists proclaim that there is no such thing as "unalienable" individual liberties; that government is the sole granter and denier of all "rights; that whatever government is in place at any time determines those "rights"...
...yet it was exactly that kind of statist, inhumane, British government mindset that repugnantly FORCED African slavery upon America, and kept the despicable practice alive in their colonies by FORCE of their statist law.
By the time the Second Continental Congress convened, delegates well understood what they were about to do. On June 11, 1776, Congress appointed a Committee of Five to begin drafting a public declaration explaining what they were about to do. The drafting Committee consisted of Benjamin Franklin (PA), John Adams (MA), Robert Livingston (NY), Roger Sherman (CT) and Thomas Jefferson. Franklin, Livingston and Sherman left it up to Adams and Jefferson to write the first draft of the declaration, they serving as advisors, mainly. Adams, in turn, convinced Jefferson to write the first draft himself. So, Jefferson did, with counsel from the other 4 Committee members.
Once the Second Continental Congress unanimously passed Richard Henry Lee's resolution to legally dissolve all political connection between the colonies and the Crown, on July 2, 1776 (America's actual Independence Day), the Committee of Five presented its declaration to the full Congress, which then did its own editing on the declaration; not a lot, but that editing did include one entire paragraph...
Jefferson, the declaration's primary author, was the only slave owner of the Committee of Five; he "inherited" human beings from his father, as African and black American slaves were deemed "property" by the omnipotent government of Great Britain. Human slavery was a dictate of the Crown in Jefferson's home State of Virginia: slave labor directly benefited the Crown's purse. The buying, selling, trading, and possible freeing of African and black American slaves was totally dictated by Crown edict. A slave had no "rights" but those granted/recognized by government - just as GB socialists qualify all "rights" as only valid today.
The entire paragraph Congress edited-out of Jefferson's declaration draft concerned slavery, but there was obviously still enough statists in Congress to fear that this one paragraph of Jefferson's would infuriate the King too much (as if telling the King to go get fucked politically would infuriate him any less). Here's slave owning Jefferson's words that Congress deemed to harsh for Georgie's eyes:
These words came from the same mind at the same time in the same declaration as these more famous words:
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America is the cornerstone of U. S. Organic Law, which also includes the Articles of Confederation (which Richard Henry Lee began working on after his Independence resolution passed unanimously), the Northwest Ordinance and the Constitution for the United States of America.
The concepts of natural, self-evident equality of all individuals, of God-endowed "unalienable Rights" (note the capital "R"), that government is instituted by individuals to secure those rights first, and that when government fails its primary charge, it's the right of individuals to abolish it...
...are all codified in U.S. Code.
Yet, these are the very concepts, these are the very legal codes that GB socialists today maintain don't exist at all, that there's no such thing as "unalienable" rights, let alone "unalienable Rights" (that U.S. Code most certainly contains); that individuals don't have any power to institute and abolish government because - in their sick authoritarian minds - government is the omnipotent power that dictates to individuals and is the sole determiner of the granting and denying of all "rights"...
Just like back in time in America when it's tyrannical government was the sole determiner of all rights, when government dictated its black slaves and white subjects had no unalienable right to individual liberty at all.
