Virtually every history textbook frames the American Founding in terms of right and left, calling the revolutionaries, such as Adams, Washington, and Jefferson, “liberals,” and those who opposed the revolution, such as Galloway and Dickinson, “conservatives.” Now that the 1619 Project has declared that the movement for independence was immoral, does that mean the “conservatives” were correct all along and that the 1619 project promoters are on the political “right”?
