I missed that. Cite, please.

As an essay, the argument the revolutionary war was fought to preserve slavery is both factually and facially... rubbish.

Maybe you missed that you are responding to a post in which I quoted WW as saying, "Hannah Nikole-Jones’ admitted overstatement of the extent to which the American Revolution was motivated by the desire to protect American slavery."

And on the facts, it appears there’s a whole lot to scrutinize here: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/ar...ilentz/605152/

I've read that. Have you read this?

You said the 1619 Project is "marbled with BS arguments." You've named one. Mostly you seem resentful of the idea that slavery is central to the country's history.
