The war of Independence delayed the banning of slavery by a generation.

I'm 90% sure they are being sarcastic and talking about how people keep saying people on the left should just focus on getting rid of trump like that itself would solve the things that caused him to be elected.

Not sure I follow. The British Empire banned slavery before the USA. So, by not being in the British empire slavery existed for longer in the USA than it would have if America remained under British rule.
