On-Demand (online viewing is on your own schedule)

Americans revere the founding fathers and admire the constitution, but distrust government. These attitudes are inconsistent, and they have a long history. This course covers insurrectionists like John Brown and Timothy McVeigh; vigilantes like the Ku Klux Klan, Senator McCarthy and clinic bombers; and withdrawers like Thoreau, H.L. Mencken and William Buckley and groups like hippie communes; finally, disobeyers like Martin Luther King.
