The American Experience: Dissent American History: Civil War to Present

Catalog description

The United States was founded by people who were dissenters. The recognition of differences and the need to incorporate them in a constantly evolving society is written into our founding documents. Through the textbook and original documents this course will explore major political and social movements that were once considered radical and the times in which they arose. We will also examine how over time many of the demands of these movements have become part of the core values of the United States.
