Having read and enjoyed the 1619 Project, I think the general answer is yes. Although, while I’m not a historian, I did find the conclusion about slavery fueling the Revolution to be a bit of a stretch —as do these historians. They have receipts.

I enjoyed LePore’s history as among the best I’ve ever read. And as noted, liked the 1619 Project There’s a reason I said “seem” and cited the historians making the claim about the inaccuracies. If words matter, read them all And to be clear: https://t.co/kpKivMtJ4T https://twitter.com/marcacaputo/status/1220341619993513984?s=21 …

I did read them all. I read where you said Wilentz has the receipts and I said so do I. I’m glad you enjoyed the project. Have a good day.

Oh Marc, you keep ignoring the Somerset decision (which the Founders feared would to the British ending slavery in the colonies) as well as Lord Dunmore's Proclamation (which allowed slaves to become free if they joined the British military in the fight against the Founders).

You might try reading some books, Marc, especially the aforementioned Gerald Horne (one of the greatest researchers on the subjects of Black people and the American Revolution) instead of just being blinded by your Whiteness and terrible K-12 history instruction.
