Some people might point to the American Revolution, with its universal proclamations of human liberty written by slaveholders, as a capital example…
Its a bit of dark irony that the so-called “Free Cities” and Valyrian Freehold” have names with connotations of freedom but are in fact horrific slave societies(with the exception of Braavos). Were there any real life states that had names invoking “Freedom” but were actually built on slavery and exploitation?
