Excellent takedown of this idiocy from a surprising source. How long before this book is taught in schools as fact?

In the grand tradition of FR, I did not read the article.
Nonetheless; I am guessing that most of his thesis is speculation. I do not expect that any of his conclusions are based on the writings, letters or documents of the Founding Fathers.

In a more civil age this idiot would just have been ignored. Thank you Internet, for being an echo chamber for stupidity.

Publish or perish, even if it’s bovine scat.

Thank you. Made my morning.

I busted a full chortle and laugh of mirth filled surprise.

Laughter is how to dispatch a clown like this....if you respond at all.

Most Leftist Loons should be treated like a fart at the Thanksgiving table.

Ignore them.
Give them a collective derisive look.
Laugh at them.

When 1619 doesn’t work— try to rewrite what actually happened in the American Revolution against King George III and the British empire which was bleeding the Colonies dry with taxes they could not stop in any other way— and they tried the legal ways.... all ignored.

Some of these idiots try to make this into a British Colony “civil war” between Brit subjects... IT WASN’T. There was a Declaration of Independence, FIRST. And Britain replied... with WAR on the Colonies. It was not a “socialist” civil war.

What shite. The article surprisingly takes apart the argument of this scat author. Trying to incorporate the never ending ‘slavery’ argument as being the Abolition movement (black slavery)-— IGNORES the slavery of all other colonists in permanent indentured servitude and slavery of their own— all British run, that industry. We declared Independence against the real situation— the Statist ownership of the Colonies, to be... no more.

Interesting read. Horn is a fool with an agenda and no backing to what he claimed. No wonder the 1619 project fools use it as justification for their lies.

Recessional of the Sons of the American Revolution:

“Until we meet again, let us remember our obligations to our
forefathers who gave us our Constitution, the Bill of Rights,
an independent Supreme Court and a nation of free men.”

Dr. Benjamin Franklin, when asked if we had a republic or a monarchy, replied "A Republic, if you can keep it."
Ben, I hate to tell you this, but ...

The thesis seems a bit weak, but I’ve often thought that the US Civil War saw the Confederacy as a final gasp of the original American nation as launched in 1776 vs. a wholly new, industrial, Northern structure that grew out of the later U.S. Constitution.

Horne needs to take Hillsdale free Constitution classes. They are enjoyable and very educational

[Verginius Rufus]

The British abolished slavery in 1834. Some abolitionists.
