Again: I'd suggest starting here to see how the denial of the Slave Power and the desire to paint the South as bumbling and backwards is the result of successful propaganda. https://t.co/gs5wQcYG0K — PolitiTweet.org

Why do you all think every American child learns about Eli Whitney's cotton gin as an example of American ingenuity?? How many of you also learned this famous invention helped expand slavery and led to incalculable horrors for the enslaved? — PolitiTweet.org

We're to believe cotton was so essential that Whitney is one of a handful of inventors whose names everyone learns along with Edison and Bell, and yet that the forced labor institution that necessitated it was fringe and unprofitable and the realm of a "backwards" region. Ok. — PolitiTweet.org
