“In the full article, Hannah praises Great Britain for ending one type of slavery in most of their colonies.”

In 1833, some 57 years after the Declaration of Independence, and 50 years after the signing of the Treaty of Paris, which disproves the 1619 Project’s contention about the cause of the American Revolution.

The Revolution was sparked by New Englanders, who at the time couldn’t have cared less about slavery.

What does truth have to do with it? If the propaganda apparatus declares that your side fought a war to advance slavery, then that's just the way things are, right?

Now you have a little taste of the sort of crap that has been spread about the Southerners for the last 159 years. How do you like it?

The Royal government issued two proclamations which emancipated slaves during the Revolutionary War.

Lord Dunmore’s Proclamation in November 1775.

And the Philipsburg Proclamation in June 1779.
