    Don’t get angry, get informed. How did U.S. politics come to its current impasse? This course examines competing parties in the US from the writing of the Constitution to the present. The first four lectures look at the broad sweep of change up to the twentieth century, including the founding of the Democratic Party in the 1830s and the Republican Party in the 1850s.  The last lecture discusses how American politics have become so polarized, and why Donald Trump was elected – surprising many. Whatever your political viewpoint, this course will deepen your understanding of US history and recent events.Marc Egnal, a retired professor of U.S. history, taught for over 40 years at York University, Toronto. He has written extensively on the American Revolution and the Civil War. He is the author of four books, including Clash of Extremes: The Economic Origins of the Civil War.
