Weirdly, I tend to only read things which challenge my thinking, and avoid things which confirm it, so I haven't read the 1619 project itself, only the commentary around it. I understand the behavior makes no logical sense but … it's just the way I am. What I've found is that there is no disagreement over the facts presented, only interpretations of those facts. I've searched, in vain, for reputable historians challenging specific factual claims made by the project. I haven't read one. The largest, credible criticisms are more or less either a tone argument ("Slavery was A motivation of SOME") or alternate fact discussions, some of which are interesting but none of which I'd count as discrediting anything. The rest of what I've read is mostly Founding Father Worship which I have zero time for.
