Read “The Idea of America” by Nikole Hannah-Jones
What examples of hypocrisy in the founding of the U.S. does Hannah-Jones supply? What evidence can you see for how “some might argue that this nation was founded not as a democracy but as a slavocracy”?
Answer:
Hannah-Jones explains the hypocrisy of a democracy based on slavery.
Explanation:
She finds hypocrisy in Jefferson’s original draft of the Declaration of Independence blaming the king of England for enforcing slavery on supposably reluctant colonists. In reality, the founders had no intention of abolishing slavery, so that passage got erased.
Therefore, the Declaration of Independence doesn´t even mention slavery and the Constitution would go as far as preserving that institution.
