      ab: Part of a special issue on social history and the American political climate. The writer argues that a conservative version of “political correctness” serves as the overarching rubric for attacks on any history that is both comprehensive and skeptical of conventional pieties. He shows how these two charges merged together in the criticisms and attempts at censoring the past provoked by the CD-ROM Who Built America? From the Centennial Celebration of 1876 to the Great War of 1914. He discusses what this episode reveals about the situation that historians face and offers some possible responses.
