Their slaves came here for economic exploitation; does that strike you as a perverse version of limited government?Why do conservatives support genocide and slavery?Those like our Founders who believed a central government was like a monopoly and thus would be mostly mistaken and inefficient at best, and genocidal at worst.
You should at least be willing to acknowledge the fact US Founders launched their revolution in reaction to the Somerset principle, and the capitalist desire to steal the land of others.
they came here for religious freedom if you check your history books
Somerset v Stewart - Wikipedia
"The state of slavery is of such a nature that it is incapable of being introduced on any reasons, moral or political, but only by positive law [statute], which preserves its force long after the reasons, occasions, and time itself from whence it was created, is erased from memory.
"It is so odious, that nothing can be suffered to support it, but positive law."
