I need help with a History question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.

 

THE U.S. SINCE THE 1990S

If you were teaching a course on modern U.S. history, what themes would you emphasize in the history of the country from the 1990s to the present? In what ways are longer-term historical trends visible in this period? How does an understanding of the longer history of the U.S. help us make sense of more recent trends, developments, and controversies?
