This course chronologically spans the monumental stages the USA went through as it strolled out from neutrality to globalism and grew from a nascent nation state and an inconsequential actor on world stage to a regional power, just to preside over the Old World's imperial powers and forge a new world order in the post-Cold War era . It focuses on pivotal domestic predicaments such as the heated debates on immigration and culticulturalism, the fight for civil rights, the resurgence of conservatism, and the offshoots of Obama presidency.
