Episode notes
The chapter explores the American Revolution's liberal compromises with slave states, touching on distinctions within the American creed between liberal and anti-liberal traditions. It discusses the interpretation of America's founding as a white Protestant country, the clash between ethno-religious patriotism and the founders' vision, and the intersection of ethno-nationalist and Christian views embodied by figures like Ann Coulter. Additionally, the conversation critiques the 1619 project's thesis on race's historical shaping of American society, considering the founders' intentions concerning slavery and contrasting them with the nation's actual behavior through historical examples.
