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.”

Slop posts go in c/slop. Don't post low-hanging fruit here.
A band I really like is coming to town but the venue doesn't have any seats other than if you pay 100+ dollars for a balcony ticket or need ADA seats. I hate general admission, man. But that seems to be all that's ever available without getting milked. There's like 1 venue that has concrete walls large enough to sit on unofficially, but that's it.
I'm capable of standing for 5 hours but my knees hurt after and I just want to sit and chill and watch all the cool effects and theatrics the bands I like put on.
The more ideal seating method would probably be restricting buying tickets to the people who live near the target stadium/stage/whatever.
Or I suppose to let only the locals buy tickets first, see if any seats are left after a certain period of time, then allow everyone else to buy one.
