A history professor who helped fact-check The New York Times’ debunked 1619 Project said her edits were ignored.
Leslie Harris, a history professor at Northwestern University and an author, took to Politico to explain her experience with the Times’ 1619 Project and its claim that the American Revolution was fought to preserve slavery. Harris said she previously had argued against the idea to include that claim. She said she received an email from a Times research editor asking her to verify the following assertion:
“One critical reason that the colonists declared their independence from Britain was because they wanted to protect the institution of slavery in the colonies, which had produced tremendous wealth. At the time there were growing calls to abolish slavery throughout the British Empire, which would have badly damaged the economies of colonies in both North and South.”

GIGO, Garbage IN, Garbage OUT. Rewrite history, to fit your Progressive Narrative, then defend it with all you have. The Liberal Progressive Way, Comrade. Sounds like the whole Russia, Russia, Russia, Spy Gate, Impeach 45, Corona-Virus. When that doesn't work change the name, drag in a few new witnesses, claim that it is a whole new thing, nothing like the last thing. Rinse and Repeat, Rinse and Repeat. Like a Broken Record. In Reality, it's all subterfuge, and slight of hand, to keep the sheep entertained, and indoctrinated, whilst they destroy the real truth.
