ash short: James sweet's criticism wasn't anything new, and it wasn't particularly harsh either. Sweet expressed mild concern that the inclusion of the 16 19 project in school curriculum was another example of selectively edited history being used to further a political agenda. So his essay was not really a historical critique of the piece, more just commentary on a trend he sees of people using history to service their present day political agendas.
