Register for "Every 4 years: Elections That Changed American History"

January 31, 2025, 8:30 AM CT - 2:30 PM CT | Hosted by: Region 10 ESC | Richardson, TX | Discussion Leader: Eric Sands

The political party system in the U.S has added an element of stability to American electoral history. Occasionally, however, this stability has been upended by the emergence of issues, politicians, and events that have spurred a reorganization of the American voting landscape. These reorganizations, or “realignments,” introduce a certain amount of unpredictability and disruption in American politics. This seminar will analyze the phenomenon of realigning elections in U.S. History.

This program will be conducted as a discussion, utilizing primary source documents as the only readings, and with Professor Sands facilitating the conversation, instead of lecturing or presenting. Registrants, therefore, are highly encouraged to read all the documents in advance and come ready with questions. Teachers will receive a Letter of Attendance at the conclusion of the seminar.

"It gave me a better understanding of the Founders’ views. They saw that restricting religious liberty is not only wrong; it leads to animosity within society. This year, I will begin both my government class and my class on “Law and Modern Society” with George Washington’s Letter to the Hebrew Congregation at Newport." — Sean B.
