the vietnam war. anyone who lived in the 1960's knows that this is a topic that reverberates. it's a flashpoint in every one of our lives. it's a war that divided our country, it is a war that eroded trust in institutions and individuals. it's a war that arguably germinated culture wars and set apart some of the populism we see today. it is a war that magnified some of the racial issues in our country. it is a war that arguably undercut lyndon johnson's great society and helped us split apart new deal liberalism, which had been the postwar consensus of that era. it's a war that sort of magnified the role of the media. for some, the media became a hero and for others, the media became a villain. in a lot of ways, it shook up america's image in the world. perhaps more important than the issues it raises for the people who lived through that era are the issues it raises for the next generation who are trying to figure out how the vietnam war shaped who we are today. in many ways, i am hoping that this conversation can answer questions for the next generation. i teach a course on t

happened to slavery during the civil war can be fully understood without reference to the decades of struggle over slavery that preceded the war. another is that the crisis of the 1850's cannot be reduced to a struggle over the expansion of slavery into the western territory. better to think of it as a momentous struggle over the future of slavery within the american empire, that means within the northern states as well as the territory. that, i think, is why the fugitive slave -- the fate of fugitive slaves in the northern states was so central to that crisis. discerning the lesson for today is a trickier business, because where we are is never really the same as where they were. we have no need of a movement to shut down slave auction houses, for example. but we might find some guidance, or at least inspiration, in the 19th century struggle against the commodification of human beings or a 21st century struggle against the commodification of health care, schools, and prisons. the abolitionists understood, just as we need to understand, that economic inequality and racial injustice are flip sides of the same problematic coin. and maybe, just maybe, there is something
