Thomas Jefferson, referring to King George III: “He has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating the most sacred right of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people.” No, the Revolution was not, even in part, fought to maintain slavery.

You're "reframing" out of contest. Women had more rights in 1750 in America than most women elsewhere. Hannah-Jones seems to be delusional. What a sorry excuse for a journalist. She positively drips with self-pity! Isn't it convenient to claim victimship? It releases one from acknowledging one's own failings. "Nobody wants to get over slavery like black folks". What b*&@#$t!

According to the NYT, the 1619 Project was authored by "journalists" and "poets", not historians or academics. There has been strong criticism of aspects of the 1619 Project by very well respected historians and scholars like James McPherson, Gordon Wood, Victoria Bynum, and James Oakes.

[@utubemewatch]

Yes, precisely. Radical elements of the left primarily tend towards a utopian historicism. Humanity’s arrival, the end of history through a sort of gnostic religiosity/political religion of a chosen collective group overcoming/destroying the otherized collective. They abandon liberalism almost entirely And subjugate the individual to the state (or term of collectivist radical power) forgetting the ultimate minority is the individual. Accordingly concepts like individual liberty, the virtues and values necessary to prosper as liberated individuals, and the symbiosis of virtue, character and values to maintain, develop, enhance liberty. Liberty and virtue grows and feeds each other - they fracture with inertia, consistent and constant dedication to liberty is essential. Liberty is not synonymous with choice, it’s provides choice but so much more. The radicals a priori position is always a straw man misapprehension of liberty.

@@utubemewatch I think the problem is that some social justice scholars want people to think that there are only two choices to pick from: we can are either be a denier of racism or assume that racism is everywhere and the sole explanation behind highly complex human behavior. I think this is a false dichotomy: one can believe that racism exists and understand that it must be addressed without having to assume that it is omnipresent. Those who believe in the omnipresence of racism and who present the false dichotomy simultaneously want to center the archaic and mostly useless construct of race in every interaction; and by doing so they are reinforcing race-based categorizations and diluting the individual. What is the stance those of us on the 3rd group ought to take? We want to address and defeat racism, push for a more just society, but do not believe the alternatives presented by social justice scholars will yield the desired results (quite the contrary, actually). Morally, we need to speak up.

[@Huddie400]

But what is her EVIDENCE that SOME colonists fought for independence in order to retain slavery? I’m not arguing the legacy of slavery. Or it’s continued relevance. As a historian, I am saying you have to have evidence for such an assertion, you can’t say that’s a reason for the fight for independence unless you have historical evidence. And how could our fight for independence be related to British abolitionism when the Brits didn’t even deal with slavery until the 1800s.

[@ydpd]

Precisely!! The British Empire abolished slavery in 1833....why would the American colonies separate from the Empire because the American Colonies wanted to retain slavery?? Slavery is EVIL but this sort of rewriting of history without providing the evidence is also an atrocity.

They realized every deal done with Mother Britain, was a raw deal, in which the colonist would not be treated fairly. It had nothing to do with slavery. But you already knew this. I'm just venting.

[@merona1546]

@ - you sound very ignorant. American slavery wasn't just slavery. There was an innate hatred and racism behind it. The one drop rule is proof of this. Even after 200+ years of legalized slavery, there was still the 100 years of legalized segregation, lynchings, and institutionalized oppression. You need to educate yourself on American slavery before you start comparing it to others because I assure you, American slavery was in a class of it's own. The same laws that were used to oppress slave, continued on to oppress Blacks after slavery ended. It wasn't until 1960s - where Blacks gained legalized equality through the Civil Rights Movement. And I say "legalized" because though Blacks may currently be equal in the eyes of the law, in practice that is a different story. You need to educate yourself on these significant nuansces specific to America before running your mouth on matters you clearly know nothing about.

@@merona1546 " There was an innate hatred and racism behind it" how can you even use the word ignorant if you don't know how to speak properly?. Do you know what innate means?. If it was "innate" why didn't the English continue with the trade?, or the Germans or the French?. Where is that "innate" quality? The only reason why Africans were being bought it was because another Africans captured them to sell them to English captains in the ports of Africa (the British colonization started centuries after the slave trade materialized). The English wanted labor, and they used the Irish and anyone that was in a position of weakness (as the Romans did with them before, as did the Saxons who raped and conquered them (they became Anglo/Saxons), the Vikings raped and killed Brits too and of course the Norman French who actually the English nobility speaking Norman French for 400 years (that is truly a humiliation). The Brits were completely decimated through history. We all did). There is nothing special about slavery in America, except that i was brief and in the end they decided to live together, regardless of people like you whining, you are all Americans today.

bigbadbum1 tell you what, there are ways to talk to people without approaching conversation in a condescending manner you absolute ding dong.

Does this past excuse him for continuing to own slaves? For having a sexual relationship with his women slaves? Or his contribution to eugenics with his pseudoscience race equation? Does the work of Robert E. Lee's father negate the fact that he owned hundreds of slaves and attempted to defer their freedom?

[@katelynharris5453]

bigbadbum1 Acknowledging that they may have initially held anti-slavery views does not excuse the fact that, overall, they did much more to reinforce slavery on institutional levels as political figures.

bigbadbum1 listen, I deal mostly with the reconstruction era and quite honesly am not fond of studying the revolutionary war, but you're ignoring too much lmao. Like the impact that somersett v Stewart had on slaveholder's stance on revolution--some saw it as pro slavery (not entirely true) which kept them neutral to the revolution or loyal to the British but many others saw it opening a path for the abolishment of slavery (also not entirely true) and became pro revolution. Even more important than that, the impact of British General Dunbar's proclamation that enslaved Black people could join the British side to secure their freedom? Even the bare fact that Jefferson took his initial anti-slavery passages out of the declaration? You'd have to ignore many salient aspects leading up to the American revolution to ignore the role slavery played in it.

Since you encouraged me to do my own research and cited the most basic superficial facts, I will in turn encourage you to actuallt do an archive dive about the points I mentioned. Or, you know, just use basic reasoning to consider why Jefferson left the issue of slavery out of the declaration if he and others didn't hope to preserve it. Either way, prove you have more basis than a 9th grade American history class before daring to acuse someone else of not having an incomplete understanding of something. Good day sir 💃🏾

All History is a process of interpretation. "The Lost Cause" was a specific doctrine of historical interpretation (supported by a selected subset of facts) that was introduced by Southerners after the Civil War to benefit themselves. It has been accepted as "fact" and taught ever since. Facts by themselves do not determine history. Context, interpretation and sense-making are equally important.

[@mood1676]

No states abolished slavery near 1776, that is a lie. Tye 3/5th compromise was about taking away the souths voting power as they could vote FOR their slaves with 3/5ths voting power.

Just so everyone knows, her essay is filled with historical fallacies and assumptions, and was reviewed by many prominent historians that actually sent a letter against this essay. She says things like Lincoln was against black equality and chooses to leave out great black leaders and movements because they contradict the thesis. It’s unfortunate that she is praised for something that is activism based on an agenda rather than actual fact and journalism.

[@thewarhammerguy5995]

Salim Sivaad I acknowledge that yes, Lincoln was a product of his time which was a racist society. However, he was nonetheless a vital player on the road to racial equality in America and his views evolved as he spent more time with figures like Frederick Douglass. He was not perfect, but he was a transformational leader for his time and believed that African Americans should be held to the same rights detailed in the constitution, and he eventually directly contradicted his remarks from 1958.

[@thewarhammerguy5995]

Salim Sivaad three days before he died he expressed support for black political rights. As I said his views evolved over time and we always tend to look at history through the eyes of the present. Yes he held racist views during his life. But he opposed slavery since the beginning of his life and his views continued to evolve. He would have continued to evolve had he not died so suddenly. I’m not saying the man was perfect but he was a pivotal step in achieving black equality and to say that he was against eventual black equality is not true. He was the one who chose to make the war about slavery and it was him that forced through the 13th amendment. These are also facts that are well documented.

[@thewarhammerguy5995]

Salim Sivaad so he is not to be credited if he changes over time? He is to be beholden to his earlier views? He did hold all of these views at one point but he changed over time. He did initially believe in colonization but relented and supported citizenship for black people. He wasn’t as advanced as some of his compatriots like Thaddeus Stevens. But you make gains one step at a time in a divided congress and country and that’s what Lincoln was doing. Hell if he was such a racist why would Obama launch his campaign in Springfield and be sworn in on Lincoln’s Bible? Nikole says that we declared independence to keep slaves which is not true. If you won’t take my word for this, then look into the letter that 5 of this country’s most renowned historical scholars have sent detailing the inaccuracies in the 1619 project.

[@hermitthefrog468]

@Salim Sivaad Lincoln was a racist slave owner, the civil war was never faught over freeing slaves, it was faught to prevent succession from Tyranny again. He established a more power federal government and linked it to the banking system. Her analysis put slaves as this high role in economic activity which is fairly not true. Sure Southern states had more slave activity but the North was highly more productive in terms of technological advancement. And they didn't have much slavery, they were normal businesses and to put slavery at the centerfold is disingenuous to real historical context. It's simply propaganda to promote a political agenda against capitalism which we do not have. America is Fascist corporatism sponsored by the state, and people vote in these oppressors and fight over manufactured hate. I was under the impression that racism was dead the media sure seems to divide people, maybe that's why i feel that way. I choose not to watch the brainwashing box.

There is no such thing as a "good" man or a "bad" man. Good and bad are things we DO not things we ARE. Each day we arise and create the good/bad actions that will define us. . My people got there around 1650. They were Quakers. However, though I do not have "white guilt" I do have white ... shame (which comes from a deeper place) that my race is so fragile when it comes to self awareness. I feel shame for my race that so many prefer fairytales to facts (self deception is a universal human trait in all races, but here I am only speaking about my own). I feel shame that after all this time we still lie about history and canonize our founders as "good" men. We are not toddlers individually or as a nation. It's time to fearlessly open our hearts to TRUTH. Thank you 1619 project for bringing light to darkness. Brutal, unflinching honesty is the only way forward. The fragility of "self" concept may make truth painful, but the pain will fade. The TRUTH will remain.

What she says about black people fostering their freedom is really only partially true. In Massachusetts, starting with Quock Walker, slaves could sue for their freedom citing "all men are created equal" and Christianity, and all of them who tried succeeded in their freedom even though slavery was still legal. HOWEVER, she ignores that juries were comprised of WHITE people who looked within themselves and deemed slavery immoral EVERY time it was brought to court. I only point this out because we shouldn't look at history as which group did what as an exclusive thing. History is dynamic. Multiple groups of people contributed to everything in their own way. We don't need to overcorrect to say black people actually exclusively did this thing or the other. Although it shouldn't matter, no I'm not white. I'm brown.

“The American Revolution was fought in order to maintain slavery”- Future History Books written by Nicole Hannah Jones, after all monuments of Washington, Jefferson, Grant, and every other president are torn down (which she condoned). After all, even if you were a white man present during slavery, you were complicit in slavery (even if your work laid the foundation for its abolition or you directly fought against it like Grant) and if you lived during Jim Crow you were complicit in that, and if you were alive during the era of microagressions you were complicit in that. Any history that portrays any European descendants or their culture or struggles in America favorably is white supremacist wrongthink and must be dismantled.

Basically a an accurate summary of the agenda

[@WMJCPA]

You know, as I am hearing about t his bogus view of American History, I can't help, since this is June, thinking about June 1944. An American General, Dwight Eisenhower, Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, while getting ready to launch the Allied forces on the Continent of Europe, he carried on his shoulders the weight of the entire war effort. On his word America and much of Western Europe was either going to survive or die. The lives of hundreds of thousands of troops rested upon the command to go. If he made the wrong decision or if his plan was off just a little, the future of America rested with him. He carried a burden that most men will never know, but he knew what had to be done. And one better,, prior to the go order he composed a memo in which he states the full responsibility failure, if it failed was his. I don't think that any country based as you claim, and sewn in the seeds of slavery would produce a man like this. Everything that America has accomplished in its history was to liberate people just as our ancestors liberated the slaves in 1865. This whole idea id bogus, this is the greatest country on earth and your premise is totally wrong. By the way, that same General Eisenhower was, years later the first American President to enforce an order of the Supreme Court regarding desegregation when he had the military in Little Rock ensure the ability for black students to attend the white high school.

Slavery. Indentured Servitude. Low cost labor pool. For-profit-prisons. Military Service. Student Debt. Racism. Slavery hasn't gone anywhere. The 1% is, as usual, the richest and most powerful and the rest of us just power the machinery that ultimately brings them their wealth. Americans must not be very good negotiators. Other nations may pay more in taxes but what they receive in return is something that American Society is expected to live without - you know - like universal health care which improved the lives of every citizen IN those nations and campaign finance reform which strengthened their democracies.

That is crazy. Taxation without representation is absolute in history. Read the letters sent to King George. England was still practicing slavery in 1830, as was the rest of the world. The revolution was not fought for slavery, nobody was threatening the institution of slavery at that time. You cannot rewrite history based on a single race, otherwise, why was America not started by the Native Americans, which is my family tree. Or why aren’t we discussing the Ottoman Empire having historical written record as the founding of Greece and Romania? History should be adjusted with new better information, not rewritten with no historical evidence, or backing from historians (black, white, native, not just white disagree) and taught as truth to school children.

@Major Henry L. But the ones who were brought over here from Africa, were not Africans, they were Hebrew-Israelites, who escaped to Western Africa, fleeing from the Roman soldiers. The reason 1619 is significant, is because time for the Israelites slavery began then. They were to be enslaved, according to Genesis 15:13, for four-hundred years (400), the time God set for them because of their disobedience. President Donald Trump, signed Bill HR 1242 recognizing the end of God's term for the Israelites.

This is being found in children who were sexually assaulted, we're finding this to be true in the family of veterans, research has found that some pregnant women passed their 9/11 trauma onto their unborn children, The various Black tribes were stripped of their language, culture, religion, dignity; the violence on them was a horrific experience that Whites cannot even begin to appreciate. The conversation around the 1619 Project is a way of dealing with this cultural trauma. The 1619 Project is not intended to make people feel badly about themselves.
