Two exceptions: First: it seems improbable to me that our Revolution was fought to preserve an institution that was .5% of GDP. The 1619 Project originally claimed otherwise, but has retreated from that claim. — PolitiTweet.org

Cotton also contributed to broader US progress. It spurred development of railroads & shipping able to transport cotton to the mills of England. It spurred growth of Wall Street commodity markets. To this point, my claims and BLM-1619 doctrine line up. — PolitiTweet.org

Second, while slavery-cotton spurred development of transport & markets, it was not UNIQUE in that regard. For example, Irish & Chinese labor built the railroads. Do they get credit for everything that rolled on a track? No. Many things contributed to our development. — PolitiTweet.org
