Consensus history
Consensus history is a style of American historiography that emphasizes the basic unity of American values and downplays conflict as superficial and lacking in complexity. The movement was especially influential in the 1950s and 1960s. Prominent leaders included Richard Hofstadter, Louis Hartz, Daniel J. Boorstin and David M. Potter. Other prominent exemplars included Perry Miller, Clinton Rossiter, Henry Steele Commager, Allan Nevins and Edmund Morgan.〔Neil Jumonville, ''Henry Steele Commager: Midcentury Liberalism and the History of the Present'' (1999) pp 232-39〕 It rejected the "Progressive" historiography that had previously dominated, and which stressed the central importance of class conflict in American history. Charles A. Beard was the most prominent representative of the discredited progressive or "Beardian" approach.
Consensus history was rejected by New Left viewpoints that attracted younger more radical historians in the 1960s. These viewpoints stress conflict and emphasize the central roles of class, race and gender.〔Higham, 1989〕〔Irwin Unger, "The 'New Left' and American History: Some Recent Trends in United States Historiography." ''American Historical Review'' (1967): 1237-1263. (in JSTOR )〕

In 1959 John Higham identified an emerging consensus among historians that was based on the search for "a placid, unexciting past" as part of "a massive grading operation to smooth over
America's social convulsions." Higham called it the "Cult of the American Consensus."〔John Higham, "The Cult of the American Consensus: Homogenizing Our History," ''Commentary'' (1959) 27#2 pp: 93-100.〕
