RE: The 1619 Project (in the New York Times Magazine)
To say that the completion of emancipation resulted through civil war is a tad misleading. I think the election of Lincoln had some influence on the start of the war, the progress of the war, and the end of the war ..... and hence a significant influence on the emancipation. Further, the completion of emancipation would I suggest have been greatly assisted by his re-election.
One has to ask the question ... if a person other than Lincoln had been elected in 1860 or 1864, would emancipation have occurred faster, slower ... eventually ? “The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor, Is king o' men for a' that” Robert Burns |
