… the man literally wanted to move to sack Boston after they had set up new bases of operations. He was planning a rebellion on a scale no one had ever seen before – if he hadn’t been, Silver might not have betrayed him. If he and Madi had had their way, there wouldn’t have been a slave plantation left in the Colonies, or anywhere else in the New World for that matter. I’m not sure how people aren’t getting that?
I’ve been reading a lot of comments saying that Flint lied to everyone that they are only going to free Nassau and that’s it. But that’s not true at all? In his speech to Maroon Queen he literally says, “I am suggesting that we help each other start taking things back, and it starts with Nassau.” Nassau was always a starting point, not an end point. Nassau was supposed to be the beginning of widespread rebellion across the New World. He was always clear about that.
