“enslaved people were right that bondage was evil, that the Constitution protected slavery by design, that violent resistance was justified, that founders' property claims deserved no respect. These aren't political preferences imposed on the past. They're conclusions reached from evidence: what slavery actually entailed, what the Constitution actually said, what alternatives actually existed, what resisters did

Interesting to learn that Bacon’s “rebellion” and the way it’s taught is more closely aligned with a Trump type figure vying for power off of white fears in the colonies as opposed to genuine resistance.
Also wild to have never learned of Metacomet who led a genuine resistance during the same era. The more I learn about Native Americans, the more I’m reminded of Palestinians and the intifadas.
