to American History Taught by Professor Mark A. Stoler THE UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT LECTURE TITLES
What Really Happened in Our Nation’s Past?
Our knowledge of American history is built on a set of long-accepted beliefs. But what if those beliefs—however familiar—don’t really tell the whole story? What we believe to be history is the lens through which we view the world. And when that lens is distorted with misleading information, it has powerful effects on everything from how we vote to how we interpret the news.
Now you can reexamine many commonly held myths and half-truths about U.S. history in The Skeptic’s Guide to American History. Delivered in 24 lectures by award-winning Professor Mark A. Stoler of The University of Vermont, this bold course will make you consider what actually happened in the nation’s past—as opposed to what many believe happened. More than merely debunking accepted accounts, you’ll be able to replace these misconceptions with insightful truths.
