Secondly, Adams hated slavery that he would write it in his own journal expressing it angrily more than the aberrant military emancipation as he said he felt that he was the mouthpiece of the common world. This chapter combines three things and that is arming slaves, freeing them, and ending slavery, which in context is simply distinct from each other being all piled up into one. As I feel that Oakes was right
