"The Southern states weren't all that eager to break from England in the first place."

I saw this when you initially posted it a month ago, but I keep thinking about it.

I've been reluctant myself to bring it up on numerous occasions over the years because I don't believe most people know this.

On the surface, this piece of information seems quite innocuous. "so they didn't want to break with England, so what? That's meaningless!" However this is quite harmful to the 1619 project ideology because of all that it portends.

I'm not grasping how it harms the 1619 project. A lot of people argue that the colonies would have given up slavery a lot sooner if the Crown had allowed them to do it, but that's about the only angle I can see for this harming the 1619 project, and even that isn't a clear example of harm to the 1619 project.

Apart from that, the 1619 project simply does not care what is true or false. They will just regurgitate the same spew that they wish people to believe, and it doesn't matter if it's actually true or not.
