Roosevelt, Lodge, and the Rush to Empire
Using the correspondence between Theodore Roosevelt and Henry Cabot Lodge, this hands-on workshop will explore America's role in the Spanish American War, including Roosevelt's infamous turn as a "Rough Rider." We will also use propaganda, such as political cartoons, editorials, and moving images to investigate the expansion of American interests overseas, and the war's effect on Republican Party politics at the turn of the 20th century.
Teachers can earn Professional Development Points and/or one graduate credit (for an additional tuition fee).
