The age of great dreams
ASSIGNMENT. (10% of your course grade): write a paper that answers ALL of the following:
1. How would you describe America’s “national public culture” heading into the 1960s? How did it change during the 1960s? And what force, or forces, drove this change?
2. What was the “liberal dream”? What was its “nightmare”?
3. Why did America’s leaders “Americanize” the war in Vietnam? Why did the war go poorly for the Americans? What effects did the war have inside the United States?
4. Compare and contrast the three Presidents in the book—what did they have in common? What set them apart from each other? What are your views on each?
5. The 1960s was very much a struggle between the forces of change and the reactions against them. Which, in the end, prevailed, and why?
6. In your view, and on balance, was America a better place for having gone through the 1960s, or not? Explain your answer.
