Today, 4 July is the US Independence Day. Following the American Revolution of 1776, the United States declared independence from the British Crown. However despite the fiery rhetoric about all “men” being “equal” and possessing certain “inalienable rights”, the new freedoms didn’t apply to everyone. Slavery continued for nearly another century, the almost total genocidal annihilation of Native Americans accelerated and over the coming years women gradually lost their voting rights. This is Howard Zinn’s critical history of the revolution: https://libcom.org/history/peoples-history-american-revolution https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1160189447499537/?type=3
