Hot Air talks about the New York Times 1619 Project, in which all roads lead back to and all the things are slavery. Several prominent historians including James McPherson, Gordon S Wood and James Oaks (who wrote an excellent history of Emancipation) call out the 1619 Project for the communist tripe it is. Of course the fact that these are old white men is ammunition for the authors who get to say, 'see what the old white men think!)
The 1619 Project is the worst kind of history, manipulated to fit modern political ends by people who hate America. It's making it's way into public schools. Fortunately these are mostly dysfunctional urban failure factories like Chicago, so the 1619 Projects impact will be absolutely minimal.
