1620

A Critical Response to the 1619 Project
Summary:

The book challenges the assertions made in the 1619 Project, particularly its framing of American history with slavery and racism at its core. It scrutinizes the project's historical accuracy and argues for a more traditional understanding of the nation's founding and development.

Key points:

1. 1619 Project Critique: Wood disputes the 1619 Project's claim to recenter American history on the arrival of slaves, arguing it overshadows the democratic foundations established by the Pilgrims in 1620.
