You can't remake America without first destroying it (and its history is what defines America)

Lt Col Charlie Brown (since you blocked me because you apparently, like others, can't handle differing opinions and love to live in an echo chamber): "It is BS. And I for one, am done with this crap. We need to get this and CRT out of our schools." ---- Except it's not "BS" and it's not crap and what we need to do is stop white washing history and teach kids about what really happened in this country's history and the world. The only thing that's "BS" is this article and people who think like you.

Well was slavery banned in the North West Territory early in American History? Is there any historical evidence America fought the Revolutionary war to preserve slavery? If so please provide it. Was there continuous efforts to limit the slave states and blunt the power of the slave stares? The premise that the first slaves to arrive from Africa is the founding of America is utterly ridiculous. There was a historian assigned to the 1619 project who was ignored. Now even Hanna-Jones admits the 1619 project isn’t history but an origin narrative! This is an effort to rewrite history. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/1619-project-founder-claims-her-project-is-simply-an-origin-story-not-history

LTC David Brown - "Is there any historical evidence America fought the Revolutionary war to preserve slavery?"

Yes. Preserving slavery was a primary requirement to unite the 13 colonies. The southern representatives were very blunt about it; No slavery, not unification and revolution.
For an in-depth review:
Jefferson: Architect of American Liberty, by John B. Boles
this gives a very clear picture of the dilemma men like Jefferson, himself a slave owner, had in attempting to resolve the issue of slavery all while promoting liberty and equality.

MSG Stan Hutchison - allowing slavery was required for America to become a nation, but it was far from universally accepted. It was necessary for America to become an ally with Stalin to win WWII, I doubt mst people wanted his barbarism imported into America. The same was true for slavery. Was slavery blocked in the Northwest Territories ? The expansion of slavery was continually oppose as was limiting the power of slave states. There is no evidence the Revolutionary was fought to preserve slavery, NONE, https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-oped-a-story-of-1619-1776-and-2 [login to see] 4-qxm5whiacvernnvjoc6wx5xlki-story.html

LTC David Brown - The War would not have been won without the South. The south would not have fought with acceptance of slavery.
That is all I am saying.
Acceptance of our history regarding slavery is necessary to fully understand our national history.
