America at 250: The Meaning of America


Course number : CLLE-7401    ID : 157428   

« back to classes page
Debates over the meaning of America have long shaped the nation's identity. Some emphasize the ideals of the Declaration of Independence, envisioning the U.S. as a place where people of diverse backgrounds can pursue freedom and equality. Others have defined America in terms of cultivating shared heritage and culture, preserving a common core. This session considers how these interpretations have influenced American history, politics, and culture.
