A Nation’s Argument

A Nation’s Argument integrates historical and global revolutions and nation-forming with the language and logic skills needed to develop and sustain an argument. By anchoring our investigation in the birth of the United States and learning the structure and language of argument, you will explore the life of the nation within and beyond these borders as a powerful idea–one which was carefully and logically crafted, yet continues to be challenged and transformed. In doing so, you will also deepen your understanding of yourself as a citizen as you evaluate the arguments that shape our ever-evolving national identity, and those of our brothers and sisters in countries around the world.
