Patriotic fables shout “Don’t turn the tables!”

Here’s a mystery of history: To the American revolutionary, a tax on tea was “tyranny,” but the cruelty of slavery wasn’t.

Patriotic fables
Don’t want anyone
To turn the tables
So facts can be found.

A slave
Who said,
“Don’t tread
On me,”
Could be
Tortured till dead.
