There is perhaps no term so thoroughly associated with the United States as freedom. America has long taken pride in being the "land of the free" and the "leader of the free world." This course will explore the meaning of freedom in the context of American history, the tension between freedom and equality, American failures to live up to a commitment to freedom, and the ways in which our conceptions of freedom have shaped the development of America's political institutions. Prerequisite: HIS-150, HIS-160 or PLS-101.
