The NYT is the enemy of every American.
Media Research Center's TechWatch Vice President Dan Gainor previously told Campus Reform, “The New York Times 1619 Project wasn’t about history, it was about rewriting history."
"Journalism doesn’t really deliver news now; it delivers narrative. To the Left elite like The Times, there’s no narrative they want to destroy more than American exceptionalism," Gainor continued. “If America had been more evil from the founding, then everything it created must be destroyed - the Founders, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, religious freedom, gun rights - everything Americans hold dear."
"The actual truth of American history isn’t the narrative that the Times cares to report," Gainor added.

American colonists sought independence from Great Britain to maintain the institution of slavery
It could be said that the The Boston Tea Party in 1773 was the first salvo in the war of independence.
In 1777 the State of Vermont, an independent Republic after the American Revolution, was the first sovereign state to abolish slavery.
Britain abolished slavery in 1807 but it remained legal in most of the British Empire until the Slavery Abolition Act in 1833.
If Britain had abolished slavery before 1773, then that claim could be argued.
Now with rampant postmodernism the sequence 1773, 1777, 1807, and 1833 may not be the right order.
In is out, black is white, 'A' is 'not A'.
