"It may sound depressing, but we might have a few sovereign nations today if not for European involvement"


...on another thread i tried to raise a topic entitled prose and cons of slavery, and tried to elaborated about and make the point that my goodness obviously slavery and the colonies were a bad thing, but the indirect effect of it was a sense of individual nation states and a uniting rule of law ....of course my topic on 'pros and cons' was closed after only one person complained...( so much for 'mature and adult debate')
