      This is bad and it reflects badly also on the handful of senior liberal historians who decided they wanted a hyperbolic fight on these issues rather than the tempered scholarly debate most of the discipline preferred.https://twitter.com/jbouie/status/1302698584333115392 …

      I think the over-the-top denunciation of 1619 by Wilentz & co (as against the more measured debates held elsewhere) have served to embolden the right-wing reaction, since objection to 1619 can now be portrayed as cross-partisan & endorsed by top scholars.

          I don't see how the Trump Administration's exploiting the Wilentz/Wood arguments reflects poorly on the historians. Good arguments are often hijacked by bad actors. I don't think they were untoward in their assessment of the project, but that's me.

          When has the endorsement (or lack thereof) by top scholars ever encouraged or prevented Trump from doing something?

          If you look at the right-wing polemics on this in WSJ, National Review etc., they constantly quote Wilentz & co. For obvious reasons, since it gives legitimacy & appearance of trans-ideological consensus.

          Both Wilentz and Wood made measured academic arguments against one small aspect of the opening essay in “1619”. It was hardly over the top. That would be Twitters reaction to them saying they weren’t sure about one sentence and praising the rest.

          Nah. It is part and parcel of the movement against critical race theory.
