simply coincidence. the NYT and Hannah-Jones admitted error in stating that perpetuating slavery for Englishmen, once England ended it, was the most important motivation for the American Revolution.

“We have to study the history of slavery and its role and impact on the development of our country because otherwise we can’t understand our country. As the Founding Fathers said, it was the necessary evil upon which the union was built, but the union was built in a way, as Lincoln said, to put slavery on the course to its ultimate extinction,” he said.

Instead of portraying America as “an irredeemably corrupt, rotten and racist country,” the nation should be viewed “as an imperfect and flawed land, but the greatest and noblest country in the history of mankind,” Cotton said.

First of all, there's no source that shows Lincoln believed the FOUNDERS put America on a path to end slavery. Quite the opposite, as facts developed ending in his assassination. LOL

But does he believe in the intellectual fallacy that slavery offered "positives?"

Well, the fact that it was said on the day another corrupt political elite is dead means nothing. The only fallacy is in your thinking. Way back when you could buy slaves, it was nessicary because all the Yankees needed food for eating because the south, not the Midwest was America's bread basket at the time. They also slide tobacco, cotton, beef leather all kinds of shit the politically woke of the time needed to live life, so back in 1860, yeah, slavery was considered nessicary. Even before that when they were drawing up the declaration of independence slaves were left out because the other coloneys wouldn't signed on. This is all simple stuff you can find in a 3rd grade history book. All this fake outrage over slavery when there you and them like you pound out your drivel on a keyboard or smart phone made by slaves kind is really funny. So you tell us after looking at all the stuff in your house made in China how you can even ask with a straight face, any question about slavery being a nessicary evil ? Just weird.

Looks like you’re part of the League of Morons that MSM banks on.
Cotton said the founding fathers considered slavery a necessary evil. He wasn’t speaking for himself.
