Xref = [This subject explores three principal traditions in American political culture: puritanism (witch hunts); individualism (outlaws); and the frontier. Beginning with their origins we will explore each of these traditions and their influence in American political culture. Discussions of Puritanism will include the New England witch hunts, the antebellum moral reformers, the Scopes Monkey Trial, Prohibition, McCarthyism, TV evangelists and the phenomenon known as "political correctness". The exploration of Outlaws will look at extreme individualism - those living above or beyond the law - and individuals like Huck Finn, Wyatt Earp, Teddy Roosevelt, and Oliver North, as well as vigilante groups. Finally, this subject explores the importance of the idea of the Frontier in American political culture. This will include an examination of the continental frontier (the Turner thesis), the hemispheric frontier (Monroe Doctrine), the global frontier (the post-war order) and the American frontier in space.]
