The 1960s in America: Crash Course US History #40

Показать описание

In which John Green teaches you about a time of relative tumult in the United States, the 1960s. America was changing rapidly in the 1960s, and rights movements were at the forefront of those changes. Civil Rights were dominant, but the 60s also saw growth in the Women's Movement, the LGBT Rights Movement, the Latino Rights Movement, and the American Indian Movement. Also, Americans began to pay a bit more attention to the environment. All this change happened against the backdrop of the Cold War and the Rise of Conservatism. It was just wild. John will teach you about sit-ins, Freedom Rides, The March on Washington, MLK, JFK, LBJ, and NOW. Man, that is a lot of initialisms. And one acronym.

"Fortunately that's all been straightened out now and everything we do and make as human beings is now sustainable"

"Oh God"

I don't usually read the comments on Johns videos due to the ignorance and stupidity that some people have. They're entitled to their opinion, but a fact is a fact. John's a great guy and I really enjoy the way you teach history. It has made me even more excited and passionate about going to university to study history. Keep up the good work, John.

"Never go to war with a noun, you will always lose."

Nouns are persons, places, and things. That's literally everything we go to war with.

I wonder if he meant for that to have as deep a meaning as it does? I like it.

Mississippi: Alabama's proof that we aren't the worst state.

For those of you who may be interested, the majority of John's references to Eric Foner derive from Foner's critically-acclaimed book _The Story of American Freedom_ (1998). It explores American history through the lens of changing concepts of freedom over time - and how these concepts manifest within the eras of American history that furnished them.
