Ive visited most of the major revolutionary war sites in the northern theater. Picking up Freeman’s Farm next year.
Admittedly I ended up scanning much of this ponderous article. I’m not seeing any indication that there’s anything really new. Anyone who doesn’t realize that in the south the war was a bloody civil war with many atrocities we would would call war crimes, and the egregious suffering of the troops at Trenton, Valley Forge, in prison ships and other locations , etc, doesn’t really know anything about the war. Per your comment, I expect endless rehashing of slavery
Yeah, that is my primary concern - it will be (I think) a further embedding of The 1619 Project narrative where we are once again treated to the idea that the U.S. is at fault for slavery when the U.S. didn't even exist.
......... with a special topping of omission with regard to so many of the Founding Fathers both anti-slavery if not outright abolitionist attitudes.
Progressives desperately need the idea to live on that abolitionism was invented in the 1830s as a lead up to the Civil War. Possibly Americans did this after looking at the British doing some abolitionist stuff.
A simple calendar is the best tool for debunking much of what the progressive historians claim, but they'll keep right on claiming it anyways. Fools.
“Anyone who doesn’t realize that in the south the war was a bloody civil war with many atrocities we would would call war crimes, and the egregious suffering of the troops at Trenton, Valley Forge, in prison ships and other locations , etc, doesn’t really know anything about the war.”
That is probably the least discussed part of the war. It is mostly presented as Americans vs British, some references to foreign mercenaries and just touching on the existence of loyalists who didn’t want idependence.
