The text book for this history class is "Give Me Liberty" by Eric Foner. Three other books assigned were "Death in the Haymarket", "Dust Bowl" and "Urban Crisis". (My opinion: This was three times too much reading!)
01 - Thoughts of August (Reconstruction, Guided Age) (Aug 14)
02 - Thoughts of September (Blood-letting Wars, Proxy Wars, Haymarket)(Sep 14)
03 - Thoughts of October (Dust Bowl book review, How "What it means to be an American" Has Evolved Over The Decades, Urban Crisis book review) (Oct 14)
04 - Thoughts of November (Length of work day, King and Malcolm X, Dueling Long Telegraphs) (Nov 14)
05 - Thoughts of December (Why the Red Scare was scary for so long) (Dec 14)
