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
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
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

Many of us have been miseducated. But to loudly and proudly and arrogantly proclaim these things when so much history and information is available is inexcusable. — PolitiTweet.org

10 of our nations first 12 presidents were Southern slaveholders. So many of our major political crashes were over keeping a balance between slave/freestates. AN ENTIRE WAR WAS FOUGHT OVER IT. There was no "backwards slaveholding South." There was AMERICA. https://t.co/tC5MWvVLQp — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
Slaveholders dominated the White House, the Supreme Court and the House of Reps until the Civil War. The shaped our legal and political systems. Many historians have said America was founded as a slaveholding republic.https://t.co/pBMvYm79Jo — PolitiTweet.org

I have an entire section on this in my Democracy essay in the 1619 Project. Virginia was the heart of the American Revolution. Virginians drafted our founding documents. Virginians dominated the early presidency. Virginia was the capital of the Confederacy. — PolitiTweet.org

Were Washington, Madison, Jefferson, etc, etc. etc., backwards slaveholding Southerners and not the real Americans? The confidence with with incurious people propagate myths in an attempt to school me is something to behold. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
People who use phrases like "the backwards slaveholding South" show they've completely accepted one of our biggest historical propaganda campaigns. The South is America. Was Virginia-- the oldest, wealthiest, most populous colony -- backwards? — PolitiTweet.org
