Age of Reagan ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

The purpose of this study is to give the student the opportunity to examine in depth U.S. Twentieth Century History from the beginning of the Conservative Ascendancy in 1964 until the end of the Century. As historians of the Early National Period have dubbed the era from 1824-1848 the Age of Jackson after the most significant President of the era, Andrew Jackson, so Historians Sean Willentz and Steven Hayward have described this era as the Age of Reagan after the President who symbolized the Conservative Ascendancy and its values.
