"<a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCkkjnpS2f8&amp;t=1m15s"">1:15</a> Oh my God", the American Revolution was about first taxes and second that the UK was heading towards an anti-slavery position, both of which would have been detrimental to the Elites in America. This historian even starts explaining the imperfection of the American system not by referring to slavery but by referring to the fact that those who did not own sufficient property were barred from voting. Definitely a Hoover Institution guy
