Are you suggesting the British abolitionist ideas influenced the Founders towards abolitionism?
Absolutely. Although we parted ways with the British you can’t deny the roots from where we originated. Especially when you look at the founders who were of the first generation during the severed connection.
Of course, as we carved out more of an identity for ourselves some of those roots and beliefs seem to have diminished.
