It focuses on key episodes in American history: slavery, territorial expansion, the Civil War, the transcontinental railroad, the Indian Wars, immigration, the great railway strike, the Pullman strike, William Jennings Bryan, and how Americans adapted to modern technologies.

I hate to come across as a bit ethnocentric here, but I’ve always loved American history. I love world history too, and of course the stories from the past for other countries are never-ending – probably because there is just so much more history for any other country. America was called the new world for a reason. However short it is, it’s history has been both amazing, terrible, exciting and uplifting all at the same time.

Thanks to BH for bringing notice of the following. For any of us interested in the decade of commemoration this is well worth a look in. On a slight tangent I’ve said it before, but I can’t help but feel that any efforts aimed at reshaping the history as regards reifying Home Rule are doomed to failure given the nature of that enterprise when examined closely. But that is no doubt a discussion for another day. The third Home Rule crisis: centenary perspectives Friday, 25th May (9.30am – 5.45pm)…  »
