U.S. Territorial Expansion: From the Louisiana Purchase to the California Gold Rush
The Graduate Center
February 22, 2011

Historian Jay Gitlin examines American diversity through the lens of westward expansion rather than immigration. In the nineteenth century hundreds of thousands of people who spoke a different language, held different religious beliefs, and came from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds became U.S. residents through territorial acquisition, conquest, and diplomacy.

In Part 1 of this podcast, Professor Gitlin describes the people and cultures within the Louisiana Purchase and conflicts that arose with that acquisition. In Part 2, he outlines the key events and ethnic and cultural issues related to the Mexican American War and the California gold rush.

“The Vietnam War: What Are We Fighting For?”
The Paley Center for Media
May 14, 2008

Christian G. Appy (University of Massachusetts, Amherst), historian and author of Patriots: The Vietnam War Remembered from All Sides, shares the historical insights gleaned from his investigation of the Vietnam War from American and Vietnamese perspectives. His extensive research, which involved hundreds of oral history interviews with American veterans as well as Vietnamese civilians and soldiers from both sides of the conflict, adds an important dimension to the staggering human cost of the war. In this lecture to New York City teachers, he relates some of the stories he heard in the course of his research, and provides evidence for his conclusion that the outcome of the war was determined largely by the political will of the Vietnamese people.
