“Most Powerful Person EVER” Piers Morgan Debates American Empire With Historians

It’s a measure of the fevered polarization in US society that even its history has become a matter of furious debate. Long before the current presidency, competing missions to redefine America’s origins plunged the past into the heart of today’s culture wars.

From the 1619 project’s attempt to reframe history around the arrival of slaves, to the 1776 commission's firm counter-narrative, the battle over what should be taught in schools and preserved in museums is intensifying. On Monday, the President launched a new front in this war, releasing a report detailing serious complaints about "divisive narratives" and "liberal ideology" inside the Smithsonian Institute.

But beneath the partisan squabbling, the 250th anniversary of the nation raises a darker, existential question: Is this the revolutionary republic that defeated an empire, or is it now an empire in decline?

Piers Morgan is joined by a panel of distinguished historians to debate the future of the American soul: Lord Andrew Roberts, Douglas Brinkley, Roy Casagranda and Barry Strauss.
