      It’s clear he’s immersed himself in that literature, and he’s always wanted to demonstrate he can write any kind of history in any chronology (so also the age of Reagan book close to our time). But focusing on some alleged empirical chasm—as if he is literally fact checking dates

      in a manuscript, is really bizarre. Even his use of Du Bois here is just a cheap polemic—Du Bois indeed corrected facts, but he was repetitively using the word to *undermine the credibility of incumbent racist scholars.* By contest, Sean barely corrects any real “facts” here.

      And truth is, Vital Center was the best book of its kind—and much to the left of Sean today re its own time—ever written. It had serious ambitious, not this kind of petty “put these hysterical non professionals back in their place” tone.

      You know, he’s a brilliant, erudite guy and usually sharp edged polemicist—I knew him long ago at the start of his career. Several books really are essential parts of the historiography, perhaps. But he’s trying to find a sweet spot that turns out to be rancid, rather than sweet.

      Basically agree on all this thread. And Sean's career arc is remarkable. I mean, Chants Democratic is an incredibly important book. I agree on the accusation of Ahabism, though I do think his critics here undermine themselves by digging on the causes of the rev argument.

      Yes—when I worked in his dads store he would give me chapters of the dissertation that became Chants to read—it’s, essentially, an intellectual history of the antebellum northern WWC, and essential re Ariana republicanism.

      And agree—the stray remark by NHJ is now a totemic signifier to either obsessively attack or defend. Her editor failed her there—should have asked her for elaboration/historiography at that point. But Wilentz claiming a factual problem is just crap too. It’s an argument!

      Yeah, I mean, to me it's weak enough to approach a factual issue. But the bigger point is that I wish it weren't complicating this exchange. Because the other points are interpretive and obvs not just credentialed historians get to discuss American history. In a twitter ...

      This is a crucial point. In general I absolutely want academic historians to be addressing broader public debates about things like racism. But too often Wilentz tries to pull rank. I don't Schlesinger, by comparison, ever did that.

      Schlesinger couldn’t pull rank, in a way, as he never finished his PhD!
