Many historians have questioned its accuracy and its attempt to undermine the salutary and historic effects of the American founding. Among them are Pulitzer-Prize winning author James McPherson, professor emeritus of history at Princeton University,\u00a0who wrote the Pulitzer Prize-winning\u00a0\u201cBattle Cry of Freedom,\u201d widely regarded as the authoritative account of the Civil War. He\u00a0stated: \u201cI was disturbed by what seemed like a very unbalanced, one-sided account, which lacked context and perspective on the complexity of slavery, which was clearly, obviously, not an exclusively American institution, but existed throughout history.\u201dResponding to Hannah-Jones\u2019 statement in her essay that \u201canti-black racism runs in the very DNA of this country,\u201d MacPherson has said \u201cthe idea that racism is a permanent condition, well that\u2019s just not true. And it also doesn\u2019t account for the countervailing tendencies in American history as well. Because opposition to slavery, and opposition to racism, has also been an important theme in American history.\u201d Of Hannah-Jones contention that \u201cblack Americans have fought back alone\u201d to make America a democracy, MacPherson has stated:From the Quakers in the 18th century, on through the abolitionists in the antebellum, to the radical Republicans in the Civil War and Reconstruction, to the NAACP which was an interracial organization founded in 1909, down through the Civil Rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s, there have been a lot of whites who have fought against slavery and racial discrimination, and against racism. Almost from the beginning of American history that\u2019s been true. And that\u2019s what\u2019s missing from this perspective.Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gordon Wood, professor emeritus at Brown University and author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book\u00a0\u201cThe Radicalism of the American Revolution,\u201d as well as\u00a0\u201cEmpire of Liberty: A History of the Early Republic, 1789\u20131815,\u201d and many books and articles on the colonial period and the American Revolution, was asked about the 1619 Project and Hannah-Jones\u2019 essay. \u00a0Wood\u00a0stated:I read the first essay by Nikole Hannah-Jones, which alleges that the Revolution occurred primarily because of the Americans\u2019 desire to save their slaves. She claims the British were on the warpath against the slave trade and slavery and that rebellion was the only hope for American slavery. This made the American Revolution out to be like the Civil War, where the South seceded to save and protect slavery, and that the Americans 70 years earlier revolted to protect their institution of slavery. I just couldn\u2019t believe this.I was surprised, as many other people were, by the scope of this thing, especially since it\u2019s going to become the basis for high school education and has the authority of the New York Times behind it, and yet it is so wrong in so many ways.James Oakes, Distinguished Professor of History and Graduate School Humanities Professor at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York,\u00a0who has written two books winning the prestigious Lincoln Prize,\u00a0was also asked about the 1619 Project dovetailing with the identity politics of the Democratic Party. Specifically, he has been asked about \u201cthe claim that is made, and I think it\u2019s almost become a commonplace, is that slavery is the uniquely American \u2018original sin.\u2019\u201d Oakes has answered, \u201cYes. \u2018Original sin,\u2019 that\u2019s one of them. The other is that slavery or racism is built into the DNA of America. These are really dangerous tropes. They\u2019re not only ahistorical, they\u2019re actually anti-historical.\u201dRichard Carwardine, professor emeritus at Oxford University, the author of the Lincoln-award winning biography \u201cLincoln: A Life of Purpose and Power\u201d and other books on antebellum and Civil War-era American history, has also criticized the 1619 Project. Carwardine\u00a0stated of Jones\u2019 work:I have read your interviews with James McPherson and James Oakes. I share their sense that, putting it politely, this is a tendentious and partial reading of American history \u2026 the idea that the 1619 Project\u2019s lead essay is a rounded history of America\u2014with relations between the races so stark and unyielding\u2014I find quite shocking. I am troubled that this is designed to make its way into classrooms as the true story of the United States, because, as I say, it is so partial. It is also wrong in some fundamentals \u2026 the idea that the central, fundamental story of the United States is one of white racism and that black protest and rejection of white superiority has been the essential, indispensable driving force for change\u2014which I take to be the central message of that lead essay\u2014seems to me to be a preposterous and one-dimensional reading of the American past.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
