    Ah, so Cotton has clarified that by "necessary evil" for America he meant necessary evil for the constitution. Which is narrower and less interesting argument.https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1287481050478678016 …

    Wait, if Cotton thinks slavery was essential in creating American society, the sine qua non without which America would not be America, then isn't he agreeing with the 1619 project? https://twitter.com/gnrosenberg/status/1287468089781624832 …

        No, it's saying that given that slavery existed, there would not have been a USA if the Constitution hadn't accommodated it.

        But still an indictment of Cotton's rejection of the fundamental premise of the 1619 project.

        “Necessary evil for the Constitution” still means we should teach the 1619 Project and related history about slavery.

        This reminds me of the John Adams quote, "Mark me, Franklin. If we give in on this issue, there will be trouble one hundred years hence. Posterity will never forgive us." People knew slavery was wrong even back then. People knew slavery was not sustainable even back then.
