Their argument that the American Revolution was fundamentally about preserving slavery for one.
That’s not exactly what it says. 1619 says preserving slavery was an important reason for some people because of growing anti slavery sentiment in Britain. Perhaps that’s true, perhaps not, but it’s pretty easy to believe that would be a factor for many in the South given that we were subject to British rule.
The initial 1619 project is made up of 100 pages consisting of 10 essays, so true to form conservatives pick out one controversial sentence and claim hat the whole project is bad.
