Podcast Episode 152: The Disuniting of America

Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. was a court historian of the court historians, the bridge between the Old Left and the New Left. He would also be attacked by the New Left of today for his views on “multiculturalism.” His book “The Disuniting of America” is an interesting discussion of history, politics, and more importantly the myth of Lincolnian America. This book was highly influential when I was an undergraduate, and I thought it was a good time to revisit its conclusions and arguments. If you have not read it, it’s worth your time.
