Gerry's Opening Monologue -
"This is Gerry Prokopowicz, with Civil War Talk Radio,...
| ...U-S-A. U-S-A. American exceptionalism. The controversial idea that the United States is somehow unique among nations is a concept that at one time was almost universally accepted, by Americans at least. As a historian, professor Andrew Lang asks some historical questions about this notion. When did it start and how did both sides in the Civil War and Reconstruction use it to justify their actions before, during, after the war? His answers are in the new book, "A Contest of Civilizations: Exposing the Crisis of American Exceptionalism." We'll talk with Andrew Lang tonight on Civil War Talk Radio." |
