The barrier between innocent and guilty isn't as clear to me. The wives and children were profiting from the slavery as much as the direct owners. I don't necessarily agree with the excess murders, but that doesn't mean I condemn the revolution, because slavery was killing many, many more than the liberation did. It was a net positive though mistakes were made, but honestly I can't blame them after what they were forced to live through. The blame is not on the revolutionaries, it is on the enslavers for creating these conditions.
I think I have to block you now. I've never been filled with this kind of indignant fury before. "I don't necessarily agree with rape and murder, but..." Kindly rid this platform of your vile presence
Ok, enslaver supporter. Get off your white horse, you literally said you support beheading monarchs.
