The Counter-Revolution of 1776:Slave Resistance and the Origins of the United States of America.

As the United States of America, celebrate its independence anniversary declared on 4th July, 1776, we take a look at the history of America, the events that led to declaration of independence, and most importantly why declaration of independence was not a cause for celebration among all Americans, particularly for the native Americans and the enslaved African Americans. “For Native Americans, it may be a bitter reminder of colonialism, which brought fatal diseases, cultural hegemony and genocide. Neither did the new republic’s promise of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” extend to African Americans. The colonists who declared their freedom from England did not share their newly founded liberation with the millions of Africans they had captured and forced into slavery.”

The so-called Revolution was according to Professor Gerald Horne, was a ‘Counter-Revolution’ a conservative effort by American colonists to protect their system of slavery. Contrary to anonymous role often assign to African Americans in the American Revolution (which Prof. Gerald Horne refer to as Counter-Revolution) the prof. lucidly outline their roles and their major impact. The book is a great shift in paradgim.

Professor Gerald Horne, is the author of the book “The Counter-Revolution of 1776: Slave Resistance and the Origin of the United States of America.”

      If you can stomach watching non vegan food IMO chef john (the one who does stuff for food wishes) is a pretty good and creative cook with a very wide array of recipes and videos. I haven’t paid attention to his vegan videos to see the quality of his vegan cooking specifically but a quick search shows he’s done at least several totally vegan dishes i.e. meatless meatloaf

      Biggest selling point though is if you wanna sleep his weirdly lilting voice pattern might lull you there while you watch

      Edit: nvm about the meatless meatloaf chief, he puts eggs and cheese and shit in it

      But like the thing about most vegan foods is you can just like do 90% of the exact same shit and just swap out beef base for a vegan beef flavored broth (or just mushroom stock), add nutritional yeast instead of cheese to add more glutamatec and cheesy flavor, add soy milk (or IMO oat milk because soy has kind of a cloying sweetness that once I noticedc it in soy buttercream icing I notice it in everything it’s in) as a binder instead of eggs

      The world is your vegan oyster mushroom once you realize vegan cooking just means don’t put animal shit in it. Everything you make will be good if you learn and apply the basic fundamentals of cooking!

        Thanks for rec. Non-vegan stuff doesn’t bother me was just looking for vegan techniques.

        Looking for a channel that goes deep into that stuff.
