M06 Next Steps

This module focused on the political and social implications of U.S. foreign policy during the Cold War, including the domestic impact of anticommunism on the American people. We also explored the domestic impact of postwar events on the American people during the Cold War era. It was a time of consensus, uniformity, conformity, materialism, and suburban security, while people of color often found themselves left out of postwar prosperity. The next module will provide an overview of the political, social, and economic changes experienced by the American people during the 1960s, regarded as one of the most important and controversial decades in U.S. history.  We will also cover the complex events that embroiled the nation during the 1970s, including the Watergate crisis, the Vietnam War, civil rights, and the feminist movement.
