Advanced American History

Our study of the early Cold War concludes today with an analysis of some of the key events from JFK's administration.  In doing so, you should understand the importance of television in the 1960 election, Kennedy's idea of "flexible response", the Peace Corps, the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Berlin Crisis.

Reminder:  Exam Thursday!


American Studies

Life in America in the 1950's was a time of domestic confidence and Cold War anxiety.  In class today, we examined both student political cartoons as well as pictures of Green Bay during the 1950's to highlight some things like suburbanization, the growth of the middle class, etc.
