After defeating Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, the American people looked forward to a long period of peace and cooperation with their former allies in the Soviet Union. What they got instead was 45 years of simmering international hostility, occasionally breaking out in proxy wars, and on several occasions bringing the world to the brink of nuclear war. This seminar will examine roughly the first half of the Cold War, from its origins through the Cuban Missile Crisis, with an emphasis on the different ways that the ongoing contest with the Soviet Union was handled by Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy.

War and Remembrance: Historical Memory and the Meaning of America
2026-04-18 08:30 - 14:15 (America/New_York) | Richmond, VA, Richmond, VA, United States
The American Civil War was a military contest between defenders and opponents of the union of American states. Reunification of the country involved a contest of words over how to remember the war. Leaving aside the Lost Cause view of the Civil War, even defenders of the Union did not learn the same lessons of that monumental conflict. In the following speeches by key actors of that national drama, we find different opinions regarding the meaning of the War and its lessons for post-war America. Compare and contrast Lincoln’s remarks with those delivered by Holmes, Chamberlain, and Douglass. What can we learn today by reflecting on these speeches that can help us maintain our unity as Americans in our own divisive times?

How Congress Began
2026-06-05 17:00 - 2026-06-07 13:00 (America/New_York) | Montpelier Station, VA, VA, United States
Congress began as a revolutionary body, gathering representatives from the colonies to protest British policy and eventually declaring independence from Great Britain. During the Revolution Congress served as the organ of government for the new United States, but dissatisfaction with their performance led to the Philadelphia Convention of 1787 and the redesign of Congress as a bicameral legislature. Looking at the Revolutionary Congresses, the Articles Congress, the Convention’s reconfiguration, and the First Congress under the new Constitution, we will explore the origins of America’s “republican branch.”

America at 250: The Legacy of the Declaration of Independence
2026-06-15 08:30 - 14:15 (America/New_York) | Columbus, OH, Columbus, OH, United States
Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr. both argued that the proper foundation for civic education is the belief that America has a moral essence derived from the principles of the Declaration of Independence, and that America’s history and purpose—its past, present, and future—is the story of our struggle to live up to those principles. In this seminar, we will read three documents–the Declaration of Independence, the Gettysburg Address, and the “I Have a Dream” Speech”– that demonstrate that an American is not just a citizen or an abstract concept, but a certain kind of human being, a person whose mind and heart have been profoundly shaped by the principles contained in the Declaration, especially the truth of the proposition that all men are created equal. That understanding of an American still resonates with teachers, students, and citizens today, 250 years after Thomas Jefferson first wrote the words that made America: “We hold these truths to be selfevident, that all men are created equal.”

2026-06-22 08:30 - 14:15 (America/Chicago) | Belton, MO, Belton, MO, United States
What was the extraordinary partnership between George Washington and Alexander Hamilton? A wealthy Virginia planter and a brash immigrant from the Caribbean helped to win the Revolutionary War and establish a “new order for the ages.” Indeed, no other founding collaboration was as important to achieving victory and nationhood as Washington and Hamilton’s. Working together, they laid the groundwork for the institutions that govern the United States to this day and protected each other from bitter attacks from Jefferson and Madison, who considered their policies a betrayal of the “Spirit of 1776.”

French & Indian War to Revolution: 1754-1776
2026-08-01 08:30 - 14:15 (America/New_York) | Frankfort, KY, Frankfort, KY, 40601, United States
The global Seven Years’ War (known in America as the French and Indian War) caused Britain, France, and their allies to clash from 1754 to 1763. Although important in its own right, perhaps it is even more significant in that it reordered the world in ways that would prove consequential beyond anyone’s expectations. In colonial America, especially, this great victory for Britain and the British American colonies had the unforeseen effect of unraveling the great empire that the 1763 Treaty of Paris codified.

The American Revolution
2026-08-03 17:00 - 2026-08-05 13:00 (America/New_York) | Niagara Falls, NY, NY, United States
One of the enduring puzzles of the American Revolution is how American colonists, once loyal to the king and enthusiastically attached to their status as British subjects, could by 1776 stand willing to declare their independence and wage a war to secure it. This five-session seminar uses primary sources to examine the principles and philosophies that formed the basis of American colonists’ loyalty to Britain as well as their protests against measures instituted by Parliament in the aftermath of the 1754-63 French and Indian War. It examines the escalation of the imperial crisis, the efficacy of Britain’s responses to colonial resistance, and the difficulties armed conflict posed for both the British Army and troops fighting for the self-declared independent United States, which seemingly surmounted great odds to defeat (or at least outlast) the most powerful military in the world.
