SUMMARY:Harry Truman and the National Security State
DESCRIPTION:With the death of Franklin Roosevelt\, Harry S. Truman inherited one of the most challenging national security environments to ever greet an incoming president\, as he was forced to both complete the great work of securing a lasting victory in World War II and navigate the complex dynamics of the emerging Cold War. By the end of his term in office\, the U.S. government and the duties of the president had been fundamentally transformed. This program will explore how and why the apparatus that historian Michael J. Hogan termed “the national security state” emerged\, and consider its long term impacts on the U.S. constitutional order. \n\nHistoric Site: Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum\nHotel: Hilton President Kansas City\n\nGather with a small group of teachers from around the country for three days immersed in discussion and exploration of a single topic in American history.

SUMMARY:From the Space Race to Star Wars and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:In 1961\, President John F. Kennedy vowed to land an American on the moon by the decade’s end\, the biggest challenge yet in the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union. After the United States’s enthralling moon landing in 1969\, space exploration took on new forms\, bringing exciting opportunities (the Strategic Defense Initiative\, popularly known as Star Wars)\, but also tragedies (the 1986 Challenger explosion). Most recently\, NASA has pursued multiple endeavors such as the International Space Station and the Artemis Program. Join us at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville\, Alabama\, to explore the history and legacy of the U.S. space program. \n\nHistoric Site: U.S. Space and Rocket Center\nHotel: Huntsville Marriott at the Space & Rocket Center\n\nGather with a small group of teachers from around the country for three days immersed in discussion and exploration of a single topic in American history.

SUMMARY:Andrew Jackson and antebellum America
DESCRIPTION:The era of Andrew Jackson was a time of great change\, both socially and politically. Jackson’s life was turbulent and violent in which he seemed to go from one crisis to another in both his private and public life. He was a man of great determination\, who was devoted to friends and family and was an unrelenting foe to rivals and enemies. He seemed to embody the attitudes and aspirations of many of his fellow Americans. As president\, Jackson advocated various political and economic reforms\, including rotation in office\, the end of internal improvements\, payment of the national debt\, and the removal of native tribes east of the Mississippi River. Perhaps his most important measures regarded his opposition to the Second Bank of the United States and his support of the Union in his strong rejection of extreme states’ rights ideas \n\nHistoric Site: Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage\nHotel: Sheraton Music City Nashville Airport\n\nGather with a small group of teachers from around the country for three days immersed in discussion and exploration of a single topic in American history.
