Hot historical synthesis take of the day: if I were going to write a Great Big Book on the United States from 1900-1945 (I’m not) the through-line would be how the Great Migration drove the big changes in national politics.

I mean, Kantrowitz is right, it works for national cultural history as well as for national political history. Basically, it’s the Correct Take.

So i want to write a paper (which i don't think will ever happen) on how post-1947 Red Scare slowed down progress on Civil Rights. I think it's The Correct Take, but in my world I have to *quantify*, and I don't have great ideas. Feedback welcome!
