A Florida jury has convicted a white woman accused of manslaughter in the shooting death of her Black neighbor amid an ongoing feud over the neighbor’s children.
There isn’t one. However the actual context is that the slavers were the ones pushing for the existence of abundant militias.
There was only one truly successful militia group in the Revolutionary War, led by the Swamp Fox and fighting as terrorists. The others were either ineffective or rolled into the Continental Army and trained as regulars.
The Founders knew this very well, and they didn’t truly believe militias would check the power of the federal government. What they could do, however, is stop slave rebellions who would be even more poorly equipped and unorganized, or push natives out of their homes without it being an official act of the government. Like the “settlers” in the West Bank today.
Edit: I see further down you actually knew this already.
What other interpretation is there?
