AFRICAN SLAVERY CAUSED THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION AND CIVIL WAR

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somersett%27s_Case This case from England in 1772 freeing the slave James Somerset from slavery on English soil, was the real cause of the American Declaration of Independence, as it threatened this colony's capital in human flesh, and its capital infrastructure of shipping, banking, trade and commerce, its base. So, African slavery caused the American Revolution, just as it also caused the American Civil War, although traditional history claims otherwise.
