PROMPT
Over the past eight modules/weeks, we have covered a wide variety of topics, from initial colonization of the Americas, to the formation of a new nation under a written consitution, through the growing pains of a nation expanding across a continent, and into an era of conflict resulting from growing sectionalism among the people and unwillingness to cooperate at the highest levels of government. Our studies culminated with reading A. K. McClure's address in Lexington, VA as a reflection on what Americans could learn from that progression of history. The American Civil War was the bloodiest conflict in American History to date. It has left an indelible mark on the nation in a variety of ways and provides one of the key points of division in historical study. As you think about the course material, what impresses you about what American got right during its first hundred odd years? Was there something in McClure's address that made you stop and think? How do you see this war in relation to the history you have learned since Module/Week 1?
