@compoccia And white Northerns were especially worried about the disproportionate power wielded by the slaveholding states. See "The Slave Power." — PolitiTweet.org

@compoccia The North mostly did not want the expansion of slavery, true, but not necessarily for the altruistic reasons you'd like to believe. They wanted the West open to free WHITE settlers, did not want to sully it with Black people nor slavery. — PolitiTweet.org

@compoccia We've all been woefully miseducated, and particularly about the abolitionist and racially egalitarian North. It largely didn't exist. A good primer is this by historian Thomas Sugrue. https://t.co/OYLAuij341 — PolitiTweet.org

@compoccia Jim Crow was not mostly in the South. Most Northern states had official segregation policies, some barred Black people from moving there, others barred Black children from public schools, others Black people had to post a bond to live in the state. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@compoccia At the Revolution all 13 colonies practiced slavery and no, it had not mostly died down. Slavery wouldn't end in New York until 1827, for instance. Slavery continued in New Jersey until the Civil War. Most Northern states disenfranchised Black men until after the Civil War. — PolitiTweet.org

@XVanFleet You haven't even read the 1619 Project. Enjoy. — PolitiTweet.org

@XVanFleet You're joking right? Google treatment of Black Americans and violence against Black voters and civil rights activists during the period Mao was the leader of the CCP. You can't actually be serious here. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@XVanFleet We weren't gifted freedom. We fought and died for it against our own country and our own countrymen. And our sacrifice expanded rights for all Americans, including you. I'm done here. Have a good day. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@XVanFleet I think it's highly insulting for you to brag about coming here as an immigrant and then insult the history and struggles of the Black people whose fights allowed you to come to a country where you could no longer be legally discriminated against for your nationality and race. — PolitiTweet.org

@GirlisThatLegal Omg. Tell her she did amazing and I am so honored. 🖤🖤 — PolitiTweet.org

@compoccia It's not and never has been mainly attributable to the South, and further, unless the South is not a part of America then it's irrelevant if it was mainly in the South or not. — PolitiTweet.org

@SamPosman @XVanFleet A nonsensical definition. — PolitiTweet.org

@Shoes4Indstry Agreed. Episode 6 of the #1619hulu docuseries makes that connection and claim explicit. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@XVanFleet @DavidEinlin This is false. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@XVanFleet We were able to abolish slavery after nearly every other country in our hemisphere and only after the slave states rebelled against the U.S. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@XVanFleet Please watch episode five of the #1619hulu series called FEAR. I'm afraid your vision of America does not match the reality. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@XVanFleet Ma'am, the idea of natural rights may have been unique, but 1/5th of the population was enslaved at our founding and had no "natural rights." Further, you do not think protesters in the US face state violence and arrest? You think the US has no political prisoners? — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@raymundmitchell @InventSPC @reghud Much like the decision to integrate the military occurred in large part as a response to war propaganda against the US during WWII, the passage of civil rights legislation in the 60s was in part due to this as well. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@raymundmitchell @InventSPC @reghud The brutal suppression of Black American anti-apartheid and democracy struggles was being beamed across the world on television, and our Cold War adversaries were using it as part of a propaganda campaign against the U.S. — PolitiTweet.org

It's easier to marginalize, minimize or suppress these truths than deal honestly with them and their modern-day consequences. That's why we know these efforts in Florida and elsewhere have never been about accurate history, but rather the suppression of it. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
Blk history is the most inconvenient to American mythology. In a country founded on ideals of liberty, we were enslaved. The greatest democracy in the world violently suppressed democracy amongst its Black citizens for 100 years after the end of slavery. These truths are hard. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
Someone asked me why is Black history, specifically, being targeted. I said it's because our history has always been political *by definition*: Our very presence on these lands is the greatest rebuke to the narrative of American exceptionalism. We give lie to the lie. — PolitiTweet.org
