- junofan 3y agoThe natives were heavily armed and owned tons of slaves. A prevailing view was slaves were foisted on the colonists by King George III through a combination of debt and the trans-Atlantic slave trade, so a big goal of the Revolution was ending that trade. Of course Jefferson was wrong, and chattel slavery continued.
