Is the “1619” project from The New York Times Magazine historically accurate?

by lanceparth

I read a bit of the articles and listened to a few of the podcast and thought it was very well done. It wasn’t until recently, however, that I read that 1619 isn’t completely historically accurate. The article saying this was from a right leaning news source and the main historian it quoted seemed to be right leaning as well (I couldn’t find the article when I went beach and looked for it for this post). So my question is, is there any truth to the claim that 1619 is historically ill informed or wrong?
