Contra Sen. Cotton, slavery was neither a "necessary" evil nor destined for "ultimate extinction." Slavery was a choice defended or accepted by most white Americans for generations, and it expanded dramatically between the Revolution and the Civil War.https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2020/jul/26/bill-by-cotton-targets-curriculum-on-slavery/?utm_campaign=snd-autopilot&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter_ArkansasOnline …

Cotton started his entirely ignorant attack arguing the opposite. He’s boxed himself into a corner, punching his own face at this point.

Fascinating. As a conservative, how does he feel about depriving people of their freedom and their inalienable rights? I thought conservatives thought you should have the right to negotiate a fair wage?

The Union was built on the compromise with slavery. Deliberately misinterpreting him (even if his verbiage leaves you an opening) is unbecoming of a serious person.

I guess Cotton's objection isn't to slavery, capitalism, and the American republic being inseparably intertwined. I suppose his objection was to 1619's suggestion that this was a bad thing. Maybe he's gearing up for "Cotton 2024: Because Slavery Was a Positive Good"?

Cotton wanted unmarked forces to take down African-American protesters. He supports a white nationalist Administration. The math on this is pretty easy.
