Rhetoric History Co-op 12

[EricaS]

So many interesting things!

We will concentrate class discussion on the Native Americans. We will talk about what was done and look at some of the ongoing results today. (What do you think about Native American sports team mascots and cheers?!)

Other major threads are the ongoing Reconstruction and the setup for the terrible conditions for blacks into the 1900s; the Victorian internet - the telegraph; Otto von Bismarck and the unification of Germany.

Russian art and music of the time are also timely - showing the Russian mind going into the 1900s and the revolution there - of particular interest as we watch Russia posturing today in Ukraine.
