Revisionist Lies, The 1619 Project, and the History of America

[Rev M. Bresciani]

History is a subject taught in most every classroom in the world. It is a good thing to know the history of your country (And the world). What has your nation done in the past, how and when was your country founded? What does your nation (People) believe in as a whole?

There is another aspect of history as well, some things in history need to be known so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past in the present. On the flip side of the coin, there are things in our history that should be celebrated, that we can take some pride in.

I've started reading Debunking the 1619 Project by Mary Graber. I highly recommend it.

In our #1 bestseller, “A Patriot’s History of the United States,” we blow the entire 1619 project out of the water in the introduction with the “Four Pillars of American Exceptionalism” introduced at Plymouth which no other country in the world has, or has ever had. None of the four involved slavery. American exceptionalism flows from Plymouth, not Jamestown. Once that is established, their house of cards falls apart.

Here is the letter I send every august now to about 40 papers and commentators.

The 1619 Project Begun August 2019 Never Possessed Merit.

Before the French and Indian War, the New World contained thirteen commercial colonial corporations in which Great Britain demanded slavery. All initiatives to abolish the practice had been prohibited by the Crown and Parliament, which mandated this worldwide system of bondage for their charters, so colonial economic activities would support the mercantile policies of the mother country.

After the Treaty of Paris in 1768, the consequences of that struggle caused to emerge the distinct attributes of an American identity associating the colonies with each other; an identity separate from and antagonistic to Crown and Parliament initiatives.

Following the beginning of the rebellion, the country had seen six of thirteen colonies free slaves and two others abolish the international slave trade.

At the Constitutional Convention. George Mason of Virginia said, “This infernal traffic originated in the avarice of British merchants…. Slavery discourages arts and manufactures….Every master of slaves is born a petty tyrant….They bring the judgement of heaven on a country. As nations cannot be rewarded or punished in the next world they must be in this”.

Slavery was retained but delegates only agreed to suspend initiatives by Congress until 1808, when the expectation of building moral outrage amid an emerging Industrial Revolution should vanquish the institution. The philosophical doctrines consulted for founding this country placed master and slave on the same natural plane of existence and only postponed the free exercise of conscience. The Declaration of Independence and Constitution are the first founding documents by a country which doomed slavery.

From page 4:

” ... I am acutely conscious, here on the Waccamaw, that
the river and the forest are the same river and forest
that silently witnessed events that took place long ago.
It was here, on the Waccamaw, in the shade of some of these
very same trees, that Spaniards and Africans are said to have
planted in 1526 the first Old World settlement in what is
now the United States - Lucas Vasquez de Ayllon’s ill-fated
San Miguel de Gualdape. It was here on the Gualdape, as the
Spanish named the river, that Africans were first brought
to this country as slaves, and it was here that first
slave revolt in what is now the United States took place. ...”

If the Pelosi floats she’s guilty. If she drowns she was innocent. Plus plus either way.
