No, I have a degree in history. I prefer facts to vibes.
The simple truth is that slavery was ended by the Civil War, with a Union Army that was 10% black soldiers, and 90% white soldiers. That's just a simple fact, from our National Archives.
It isn't revisionist history to acknowledge that slavery was ended primarily through the deaths of white soldiers, and pointing that out doesn't make me a white savior. I have also heavily studied Critical Race Theory, and think it should be taught at a high school level in America. I think we could go a long way in educating Americans about the true and significant contributions of black Americans, but that doesn't require making up new facts that support our personal fantasies. That's MAGA thinking.
