      Or take the case of the ban on the slave trade. To me, the US being the 2nd country to ban it is pretty good. To @jbouie , it's a compromise showing that America is, at its core, a slave state. I think it's fair to call it a "compromise," but compromises imply a mixture!

      Like if it was a "compromise" then by definition both sides got something. I agree that abolition in the 1780s would have been a "crowning glory." But there's no debate it would have led to an immediate civil war, and won slave states would probably have won.

      The result of that would have been English reconquest of at least some colonies, at the latest by 1815, i.e. before the abolition of British slavery.

      The result of that would have been a British empire where the preservation of slavery was essential to maintaining order in a very large part of the colonial empire. Which raises the question of whether the 1833 abolition would have happened then or at all.

      In other words: It's far from clear that an uncompromising abolitionism would have resulted in an end to slavery. Maybe! But very likely not!

      Then there's the Northwest Ordinance. @jbouie talks about why southerners accepted the free states of those territories, and mentions material motivations. Sure. Fine. It wasn't starry-eyed idealism. Then again, when abolitionism actually came, it wasn't all starry-eyed idealism!

      The Emancipation Proclamation was aimed nearly as much at the UK as it was at enslaved people. Abolition after the war was, for many, about breaking the power of the rebel elite as a deep commitment to liberty for all.

      And more to the point.... the fact that southern delegates were willing to compromise for material reasons does not explain how it came to be that so many northerners simply didn't even countenance the idea that Ohio might be a slave state!

      Southerners made a material compromise. But those northern votes were largely rooted in an ideological commitment to free soil! Why are we acting like the history of America is a history of the things southerners did?!?!?!

      I don't think the 1619 Project is all lies and propaganda. But when @jbouie asks what it is I want, it's striking how he positions the question: as if the job of the New York Times is groundbreaking scholarship on the history of race?????

      What I want from the NYT is for them to faithfully represent facts about the events occurring in our society. Giving historical perspective is swell. But agitprop to promote an extremely narrow vision of American identity does not illuminate current events.

          Or at least, it does not do so beyond providing insight into the specific beliefs of left activists.

          Which extremely narrow version are you complaining about,specifically? The hagiographic one of the American founding as the full ideal of the Declaration?
