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.”

Financial Support to the Bearsite
This is a long shot, but is anyone on here a licensed plumber or HVAC technician that would be willing to help me get a part?
My boiler failed and it needs a proprietary control board that the manufacturer won't sell me directly. The local dealer wants almost 10x the price the manufacturer lists on their website and wants to charge for a diagnostic and installation for something that takes 1 minute to plug in.
I'd give the money upfront for the part, core charge and shipping from you to me and I'd handle sending the core back.
DM me if you can help.
It's not a dire emergency since I have the system working in a sort of service mode for the time being.
I wish I was licensed but that shit rough, I don't believe it's a regulated part so you could always try your luck at an appliance store they might be able to point you in the right direction.
I tried calling a plumbing supply place near me that sells this brand of boiler, they were helpful but unfortunately the only way to get this particular part is to order it direct from the manufacturer.
If I don't find someone I can always keep looking on eBay. I've seen them on there before.
Ebay will do it and as long as the rest still works then it fine to just swap it out
Uhh feinstein'sghost was but it looks like that account got deleted. Pretty sure he posts under an alt now and recently posted about asbestos pipe. So find that post and ask the op
Edit: typically manufacturers don't sell direct to consumer, so you're always paying bullshit markup to a middleman
I think @Wmill@hexbear.net does hvac stuff? Pinging them in case they can help
