Key reason why 1619 falls so flat: the people of 1776 believed they were founding something new & important. So to an extent did those of 1620, 1787, 1866. Nobody in 1619 thought they were doing anything but continuing how the world already was. https://twitter.com/SWGoldman/status/1359506903802515460 …

Granted, the "Second Founding" school has to acknowledge that the Republicans of that era thought they were *continuing* the founding, not remaking it entirely.
