one, reformers in the anarchists and liberal reformers, conservative liberal reformers, are both agreeing that something is wrong with the state, that the state, the american state, is becoming stronger, hence more repressive. they were certainly right about the first part, because we are going to get into this a little later in the course, but you are beginning to see by the 1880's the emergence of the modern american state. so both extremes are disturbed by this, by the growth of its power, by its economic structure. second, at the time that the groups i just mentioned are becoming very edgy about the american state you have other groups represented in this course who are looking to the state, and high among those roups were of course african-americans who were seeking state protection. that is federal protection, from the sorts of things that were going on in the american south. so you have one part of the course, the radicalism part, suspicious of the state. the other part, the race part, looking towards a stronger state. and it was not just african-americans who were looking for a stronger state. veterans groups, civil war veterans groups, quite ucces

the united states. people were seeing pictures of the american and embassy, etc.. then it turned out that within two weeks, the americans had pushed the vietnamese back and it appeared it was not the defeat that it was. but then it turned out that the north had a kind of bloody inner party battle about whether to do tet or not. that put aside a set of more moderate actors in vietnam that -- it turned into a more conventional war after 1968. it is one of those events were so many things happened as a result that it is a good way for people to understand the level of complexity involved. >> it is a complex history and we have a brief time. thank you for talking about vietnam then and now. you are watching american history tv. 48 hours of programming on american history every weekend on c-span3. follow us on twitter for more information on our schedule and to keep up with the latest history news. a case about student free speech. in 1965, 5 students from des iowa, wore black armbands to school to protest the vietnam war, violating school policy. -- challenged the scho

the american state eventually hangs itself. on the one hand, it is publicly saying all is well, and there is no decent interval, nixon says. it sort of takes us out of having to make that argument in one form or another where the contention often comes. what you do when you have that? -- when you have got that on tape? that's exactly what are here in as if you were watching it. it's interesting to have the tapes together that do it in a compelling way. host: this network, c-span, is a post-vietnam creation, 1979. over its history, we have had the generations of journalists , members of congress, historians who are part of the experience and served and are now aging out. we always used to hear about the country absorbing the lessons of vietnam as it approached current policy. as a historian watching more contemporary america, have lessons been successfully absorbed into our policy decisions? dr. bradley: i would say no. i would say -- you know, the afghan war and the war in iraq does not show the lessons of vietnam at large have

and just a little bit of background in terms of -- in terms of the african-american community in the united states in the 1940s. the great depression is still hammering communities all across the country. african-americans are suffering in particular in all major cities in the united states. african-american men are facing unemployment rates up to 50%. some places, two-thirds or three-quarters of black families are on public relief. again, chicago, st. louis, new york, charlotte. unemployment rates for african-american men are at or over 50%. there's systemic segregation being still the law of the land as we've talked about in previous classes. again by way of reminder, one of the responses to segregation particularly in the american south has been massive migration. right? and so we're seeing tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, soon millions of african-americans leaving the american south in response to the realities of racial terror and segregation, moving into major urban centers both in the south and outside of the south. major urban centers like, again, chicago, new york, philadelphia,

the total number of people in military and 230,000. and 230,000, and 12 african-american officer, and in 1940 in the united states marines, there are exactly zero african-american soldiers, and so they were barred from the marines. the marines were under the impression, and again, it is not come meetly exclusive to the marine, and they were under the impression that african-americans did not make good soldiers. they did not make good soldiers so no african-americans in the marine core m. the united states navy, the african-americans could only serve as is servant, jans or the and mess officials. so that is the background of the 1940s. systemic discrimination, and jim crow, and african-americans across the nation trying to mobilize to confront this re reality. so enter a. philip randolph. a. philip randolph. all right. so, brother randolph is a former editor and writer, and he is a union organizer and he organizers on the brotherhood of the sleeping carporters and he organizes the union in 1949. and what a sleeping car? it is a train. trains are still one of the m major modes of transportation in the united states in 1920s, '30s, '40s, and

intervention in american action is a form of intervention and the reason that american non action american action or both forms of intervention is because of the general presumption that the united states has a responsibility to be involved in every conflict everywhere in the world in the basic reality is the united states has relations with governments in every part of the world and having relations with governments in every part of the world the united states is involved in every conflict in every part of the world in either through its actions or its in actions the united states is going to be blamed for the outcome so the question is ok what is the best policy for the united states to follow is it a policy of action in action or some combination of the two and calibrating that policy has been the challenge that american foreign policy makers have faced ever since the end of the second world war and that explains the consistency in american foreign policy now if we were to look at the current administration and see a radical break with that consistency the radical break might need to disown a responsibility for all these conflicts and there was a lot of concern when president trump
