So with the abolition of slavery you have at least the partial achievement of a substantive freedom for the freed slaves.Even though Jim Crow, segregation, disenfranchisement, lynching, all of these things became blots on the United States in the later 19th century, and well into the 20th, at least children couldn’t be sold apart from their parents, wives couldn’t be sold apart from their husbands, and marriage was now a legal institution for freedpeople.
I therefore found interesting his comments on the New York Times 1619 Project: Earlier this month the site interviewed James McPherson on his reaction to …

I find it problematic. Exactly. And the scholarship that emerged with the Civil Rights movement—to oversimplify it again—moved in a leftward, and northern liberal perspective.Q.
