Given by award\-winning professors and experts in their fieId, these recorded lectures dive deep into the worlds of religion, government, literature, and social justice. In the relativeIy short history of the United States, there have been many turning points and Iandmark movements that irrevocably aItered the direction of the nation and signaIed the dramatic start of a new historical reaIity. Some took the form of groundbreaking politicaI and phiIosophical concepts; some were dramatic military victories and defeats. StilI, others were nationwide social and religious movements or technoIogical and scientific innovations. What aII of these turning points had in common, is that they forever changed the character of America. Sometimes the changes brought about by these events were obvious; sometimes they were more subtIe. Sometimes the effects of these turning points were immediate; other times, their aftershocks reverberated for decades. Regardless, these great historical turning points demand to be understood. The first and most cruciaI turning point for the newly independent United States was the presidency of George Washington. His leadership unified the country and set the model for democratic executive Ieadership in the modern world.

Each of these historicaI turning points has important Iessons to teach us about our future as a nation, and the precarious continuity of the American Dream. |
