https://www.collindemocrats.org/wp-content/uploads/BigIssue.jpg1000492This past August marked the 400th anniversary of the first arrival of enslaved persons in America. Some have claimed that this date is the true beginning of the real America and that the official beginning of America on 4 July 1776, which will have its quarter-millennial in six years, is a fraud meant to disguise the reality that America is a bigoted, exclusionary, murderous society. Both stories --freedom in 1776, and slavery in 1619-- are false. Both are true.
