Your readings on the 1619 Project offer significantly different interpretations of the relationship between America’s founding ideals and the nation’s history of slavery and racial inequality. Compare the perspectives of the 1619 Project and the President’s Advisory 1776 Commission by answering the following questions: How does each reading characterize the significance of 1619 and 1776 in understanding American history? Which reading is more consistent with a whiggish view of United States history and why? Your answer should also include a brief (1-2 sentence) explanation of what a whiggish view of U.S. history is. Same question, but for a progressive/revisionist view.
