What's Wrong With The 1619 Project? | 5 Minute Video

In August of 2019, the New York Times published The 1619 Project. Its goal is to redefine the American experiment as rooted not in liberty but in slavery. In this video, Wilfred Reilly, Associate Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University, responds to The 1619 Project’s major claims.

Script:
Have you heard of The 1619 Project? It was published by the New York Times in August of 2019. It won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary in 2020.
Its thesis: The United States was founded in 1619, when the first slave was brought to North America.
Wait-that brings up some questions…
What happened to 1776? To July 4th? The Declaration of Independence? George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison?
According to The 1619 Project, the Founding Fathers pushed for all that “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” stuff to protect their slave holdings. Independence from England? That was just a smoke screen.
To them, everything that’s wrong with America is tied to her “original sin” of slavery: from segregation to traffic jams (yes-traffic jams!). For The 1619 Project authors, racism is not a part of the American experience; it is the American experience.
Is this true? Let’s look at three of the project’s major claims:
1. Preserving slavery was the real cause of the American Revolution.
If you asked the Founders why they no longer wanted to be a British colony, they would have given you a long list of reasons: Taxation without representation, conflicts over debts from the French and Indian War, and the Stamp Act would be just a few.
Probably most important was the burning desire to be free-to chart their own destiny as a sovereign nation. Protecting slavery? Slavery was not under threat from the British. In fact, Britain didn’t free the slaves in its overseas colonies until 1833-57 years later, after the Declaration of Independence.
Yes, the subject of slavery was hotly debated at the Constitutional Convention, but that was after the war was won.
2. Slavery made America rich.
Slavery made some Americans rich-true enough. Eli Yale, for example, made a fortune in the slave trade. He donated money and land for the university that is named after him. But the institution of slavery didn’t make America rich. In fact, the slave system badly slowed the economic development of half the country.
As economist Thomas Sowell points out, in 1860, just one year before the Civil War began, the South had only one-sixth as many factories as the North. Almost 90% of the country’s skilled, well-paid laborers and professionals were based in the North. Banking, railroads, manufacturing-all were concentrated in the North. The South was an economic backwater.
And the cost of abolishing slavery was enormous-not merely in terms of dollars (Lincoln borrowed billions to pay for it), but also in terms of human life: 360,000 Union soldiers died in order to free 4 million slaves. That works out to about one soldier in blue for every ten slaves freed. It’s hard to look at that butcher’s bill and conclude that the nation turned a profit from slavery.
And many things have happened since 1865. In the almost 200 years since the Civil War, the population of the country has grown almost 900% and our national GDP has increased 12,000%. Slavery did not make America rich.
3. Racism is an unchangeable part of America.
This argument is more philosophical than scholarly, but it undergirds the entire 1619 Project. It’s also pernicious because it suggests that the United States is an inherently racist country that can’t overcome its flaws. Yet that’s exactly what it’s done.
Today, America is the most successful multi-racial country in history, the only white majority country to elect a black President-twice. Of course, progress has not always been smooth. There have been terrible setbacks. But to compare American attitudes about race today to America a hundred years ago, let alone to 1619, is absurd.

    @Jon Smyth By all men being created equal they meant white men. It’s clear if you look into some of the laws imposed during Jim Crow. For instance, most Jim Crow states enforced laws prohibiting anyone who wasn’t white the ability to testify in court on behalf of or against a white man. Yes, the legislation specifically says white man, not white people but white man. It goes to show the deeply rooted ideology the law makers had at that time and we know for a fact these things were based on white supremacy and male dominance. The people who were writing about all men being created as equals weren’t presenting themselves to be the example and they most certainly weren’t making sure they created laws that suggests that all of mankind are created equal.

The race hustlers leading these "anti-racist" orgs don't care about the issues at all, but they are sure getting mighty rich. The saddest part is that they count on people like Dominique Duhart to spread their racist rhetoric without questioning it or doing their own due diligence. Turns out most people are easily manipulated and mankind are being riled up in anger and hatred against their fellow man, even here in the promised land.

    Making narratives to get your agenda in history is not the truth. The independence of this country was not based on slavery was based on independence from England, if it was based on slavery, the English wouldn’t of had slaves during the revolutionary war but they did. It’s an agenda-based narrative that’s rewriting history that’s the bottom line. The truth doesn’t have an agenda! We strive for a more perfect union, it doesn’t mean we are perfect, it means we are trying and may I add better than the rest of the world in almost every metric.

    Claiming that America was founded when the first slaves arrived also doesn’t make sense because there were other English settlements in what is now the USA and other parts of North America before 1619. Are we just supposed to forget about Jamestown (1607)? They were there first, they didn’t have slaves, and they laid much of the groundwork of the country. By the time those slaves showed up, Jamestown was thriving and had been the capitol of Virginia Colony for three years. The pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock a year after the slaves, but they didn’t keep any themselves (or at least, not at the time). Their Mayflower Compact had FAR more of an influence on the country’s foundation than slavery did, and they actually made a point to befriend the Indians (even if it didn’t last). Speaking of which, even if you want to make the case that America WAS founded on the oppression of non-whites, why 1619? The Spanish had been in Florida for just over a century by that point. Isn’t it a bit ethnocentric for these black activists to claim that their ancestors’ plight was a bigger influence than that of those conquered indigenous people, especially when it came first? XD

    @@rohantime5938 I make my case independently of anything said by Prager U, which has never claimed to be an actual university. How about you try actually addressing what is being said in the video and/or my comment? All I'm hearing from them is what used to called "history" until five minutes ago, and all I'm hearing from you is tired rhetoric. If the 1619 Project really is "true whether (I) like it or not", the burden of proof is on you to back up their ridiculous claims. Slavery was wrong, and nobody is denying that it happened, but what's also wrong is lying about what the founders' intentions were when they laid them out clearly in our founding documents and they can be independently verified by looking at the British perspective of the war. Like the man says, the founders were in no danger of losing their slaves from anyone but other founders, and even that didn't come up until after the war was won. "This channel deserves the censorization it’s gets from KZread"? I'll let that statement stand on its own, Rocket Phonics.

LOL 😂 and before you jump on the bandwagon of calling anyone else racist, might wanna have a look in the mirror, since you believe blacks can't even get out of poverty, and are victims, i was never raised to taught that, and i know the leftist mindset too well now. majority of them are stupid, ignorant and very racist and sexist, claiming to be champions of race and sex but they really want minorities and women to be nothing but victims, well take a wild guess what i want. if you guessed the same as you, or tried to project your racism and sexism onto me, then "insert family feud wrong buzzer here", DEAD WRONG! if you guessed that i want them to be successful and find happiness in their own ways, then ding ding ding, you got it right for the million! lol, because while you promote that racism and sexism is the only way to bring minorities up, the thing is you are highly mistaken, how bout listening to historians for once instead of some stupid newspaper thats bout to be dead in roughly ten years.

    Hmm if freedom was just a smoke screen then I wonder what the writers of the 1619 project have to say for countries in Latin American who wanted independence. Was their cause about slavery or was it actual freedom? Or is the real smoke screen all about tarnishing U.S. History with a lie. I’m first gen American and I will not let anyone impose lies on my home. 🇺🇸 ❤️

In a sense, they are forced to read it, directly or indirectly, and absorb the content written in it. It's really not different from enrolling in a university for a STEM degree only to be forced to take CRT classes.
