Fun fact: Sometimes some of us call it that anyway, or "susie." I've heard both over the years. :)

(3) Perhaps an implication of the history being so fiercely debated here is the need to develop a sense of competing forms of democracy itself rather than a simplistic version of more or less democracy.

(2) The new wave of scholarship both specialized & public-oriented could continue to refine its take on democracy. Is the implication of this work the need for *more* democracy or something different from democracy American style?

3 responses: (1) We need a continued accounting of truth--& complexity--of the story. Tom Paine & the Phili mechanics, even iconic figures such as Crispus Attucks, countless others alongside slaveholders. Like any upheaval, Rev War had multiple factors, people, forces.

The question becomes: what does this more radical, damning critique of the American democratic project mean for how we understand (and invest in) democracy itself?

Vs. radical version of history of US democracy: inequality and exploitation were built into the founding of the US. This, whether by implication or explicitly, raises questions about the nature of democracy in its American version.

The debate is about whether inequality is "baked into" (to borrow
@catchatweetdown's phrase) the American democratic project or not. It's an anti-Tocqueville stance. Democracy, American-style, was exclusive & exploitative rather than inclusive & expansive.#usihPrikaži ovu nit -
For the
#1619Project debates crowd, some observations: the new wave of scholarship (which sometimes elides the prior 50 years of radical history it is built upon) seems to be about race (and it is) but it is really about democracy America-style.#usihPrikaži ovu nit -

This thread reminds us how eugenics justified many Holocaust horrors. Eugenics science was founded and widely promoted in the United States. Vestiges of eugenics lived in our institutions until the 1970s, via forced sterilizations.
