Friday · May 8 · 07:30PMAbout the Event
Think of HTDS as covering the basics of what an American should but possibly doesn’t know (or has forgotten) about history. The episodes are roughly one hour, story-driven and irreverently educational. Each episode stands on its own as a story, but taken together, they will also walk you through a survey of US history that starts with the Revolution and will (eventually) go right up to the present. The promise is in the title, because learning history shouldn’t suck!
Skip the classroom and step into a night of American history-telling, live music and multimedia!
Adapted from the top-ranked history podcast History That Doesn’t Suck,
Professor Greg Jackson tells the epic tale of “The Unlikely Union,”
weaving defining moments in American history from the revolution
through the civil war as a young nation to forms, defines, and reforms
itself. Travel back in time through the first 100 years of US history told in
a thrilling 100 minutes and return with real context for today
