Reconstruction laid the groundwork for the Industrial Revolution.
The Industrial Revolution eventually led to a great concentration of wealth in the upper echelons of society, leading to the Great Crash of 1929.

Jefferson's ideas about decentralization helped to set the stage for the Civil War.
This is because the concept of states' rights was good at lessening the influence of European powers, but not so good at abolishing slavery.

The entirety of the Jefferson stream was a direct rebuttal to the Federalists concerning making the nation trade friendly.
Then, Jackson hated and loathed the banks.

What I'm thinking about doing is to construct one long seamless story from 1788 to 2028.
Each election, the immortal voter will tell us why they voted for the candidate.
Like a story.
I think that would be an awesome approach to American history.

Try to imagine losing your father and uncle to assassin's bullets. Then, losing your son to a plane crash. Finally, losing your daughter to leukemia.
I cannot even begin to imagine what that must be like.

Another concept that I really cannot overemphasize enough is the political continuum.

I just want to see how an entire generation would behave if they saw how they fit into the big picture of American history.

As progressive parents of hopefully-progressive children, it is your responsibility to ensure that they study and know their American history.
That's what I'm here to help you with.
The paper in my profile provides that initial framing or "the big picture" students really need.

Key features of the post-2028 affordability reset:
housing intervention
healthcare cost containment
income floor logic (UBI-adjacent or UBI-lite)
reframing growth as anything above the line of subsistence
This fits the “UBI trend line” model perfectly.

We used to have six possible scenarios for the crisis we will be facing us in 2028. But after last week, we have narrowed that down to three possibilities:
A post-2028 affordability-centered governing reset
Electoral realignment via fatigue replacement
Prolonged but lower-intensity instability

So, yeah...I'm all for bringing back cancel culture.
