So you are disagreeing and saying that slavery was necessary to development? Because development gave slaveowners what they wanted even though not to their long-term economic benefit? I'm not disagreeing, I'm just not clear how your point applies here.

The bigger problem that I’m starting to see with the 1619 project is that it minimizes what was done to Native Americans to create a narrative that certains Black Americans.

Not so much disagreeing with you as expressing frustration at how focus of economic historians on competing development models narrows/distorts actual debate in antebellum American about normative goals.
