    These claims that there is a vast silent population that agree with me but are too afraid to talk always strike me as being as plausible as "my smoking hot Canadian girlfriend" claims. What is asserted without evidence scarcely merits consideration.https://twitter.com/wesyang/status/1438426460583247873 …

    The story is the same everywhere, though the particulars vary. Where it hasn't happened yet, it will soon.

        That guy seems desperate for attention. He’s been throwing tweet spaghetti at the wall for days now trying to get something to stick and rile up enough people to increase his engagement.https://twitter.com/leahmcelrath/status/1437142565317484544 …

        It’s so weird because it was two sentences in a very broad essay and wasn’t the central argument of the essay. There’s no way a horde of historians was intimidated into silence over that.

        I spent a fair bit of my life around academic historians and can safely say most don't share Sean Wilentz' view of the profession. I think there are a lot of criticisms to make of 1619 (particularly its nationalism) but Wilentz' hobbyhorses are pretty sprecialized.

        Democracies are run by the people who speak up. The profession of history is shaped by the ones who speak their thoughts.

        In general this is a sound principle but many historians did disagree, quite loudly, with 1619.

        Right, the fact that 1619 has been sparked a vast literature, pro and con, kind of goes against Wilentz claim.

        Aside from the fact that there WAS substantial criticism of the 1619 Project on a number of fronts! Including from some of scholars whose work was drawn upon!
