Ethical Issues in American History

Step into the shoes of historic decision-makers and grapple with ethical decisions they made. Guided by a retired University of Michigan professor, explore decisions made by Thomas Jefferson, Henry David Thoreau, Susan B. Anthony, and others. Engage in discussions prompted by chapters from a history book authored by the instructor and loaned to students. Connect those chapters to current public issues, deepening your historical knowledge while cultivating ethical judgment, thoughtful reflection, and reasoned discourse.
