In this final lecture of Yale's America at 250: A History course, Professors Beverly Gage, David Blight, and Joanne Freeman together offer a recap of how the semester's material connects to the present moment, on the eve of the nation's 250th anniversary, and reflect on what the history covered across the course suggests for understanding the country's trajectory. Recorded in Yale's Battell Chapel as part of the DeVane Lecture series, the class closes out a one time course tracing United States history from 1776 to the present, bringing together the three historians who each led distinct sections of the semester into a single concluding discussion.
