概要

 Welcome to 4th Period U.S. History — or, as it’s more lovingly referred to, 4Push.
This class explores the histories and experiences of the United States from what should be its rightful origins in 1676, all the way to the moment when men finally got off their collective asses and gave women their due rights—and the vote. We’ll be exploring what I consider the single driving line throughout U.S. history: Can we dominate anyone who isn’t white and male?

This course will focus heavily on slavery and how it forms the very foundation of this country. We’ll examine the origins of U.S. government, how it’s supposed to work, and where the real power lies within its three branches. We’ll also cover gender, race, ethnicity, and religion—and yes, probably tear apart the idea that Americans are always amazing, heroic, and all-knowing. This class will shine light on the darker corners of our nation’s past and, hopefully, expose you to more than you ever realized. American history is vast and deeper than a few white dudes writing some bold-as-hell statements on parchment and sailing them back to England with a metaphorical middle finger. This isn’t your older relative’s history class that focused on memorizing dates and names.

4th Period U.S. History class aims to give you an unbiased look at U.S. history—the facts, as best as they can be represented, given what we know. This course will challenge you and make you think twice about what it means to be a citizen. I hope that realization brings growth—and maybe even a deeper connection to your fellow neighbors. Don’t be afraid of our past, even if you know there are some skeletons in those closets. We all have an experience and a history in this country. We all have a voice in this country. And you all have a welcome, waiting seat in this class.

    Ep 29- America’s Oldest Tradition: Panic
    2026/02/04
    Today’s class doesn’t explain the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798—it lets them run on instinct. If you aren’t a citizen and your country makes America nervous, you’re removable. If you write, speak, or publish anything the administration, Congress, or the courts don’t like, that’s not criticism—that’s sedition. Fear does the math, the law signs off, and suddenly repression looks like patriotism.

    Alien quietly becomes enemy, enemy becomes threat, and threat becomes policy. Japanese internment camps weren’t a historical fluke; they were Section 1 with better branding. Journalists being arrested today for criticizing the administration isn’t a modern overreach—it’s the same muscle memory. Different century, same reflex: punish dissent, target outsiders, and pretend it’s about “national security.”

    The Constitution shows up briefly—mostly to be ignored. Fear does the heavy lifting. Two hundred years later, the language has changed, the targets rotate, but the instinct is identical

    Turns out this wasn’t a phase. It was a foundation.

  • Ep 28-Honoring the Words, Questioning the Man: Washington’s Farewell Revisited

    Ep 28-Honoring the Words, Questioning the Man: Washington’s Farewell Revisited
    2026/01/29
    Today we return to actual content and take on George Washington’s Farewell Address—the speech where America’s most untouchable founding father gently exits the stage while lecturing the nation on unity, restraint, and the future of this “great experiment” in democracy. It’s a vision of freedom, stability, and civic virtue… delivered by a man who still owned human beings. So yes, freedom—but very much with exceptions.

    We zero in on the final excerpt of the address, where Washington acknowledges that he made mistakes, perhaps unconsciously, and warns that it would be folly not to admit error. He expresses regret that any of his missteps may have brought harm to the nation and its people—a moment of humility that hits harder than expected. He may still be a slave-owning bastard, but the insight is real: leaders who refuse to admit failure do far more damage than those who do. This episode lives in that uncomfortable space—where reverence dies, accountability matters, and history stops getting a free pass just because it’s old.

  • Ep 27- From Minneapolis to the National Bank...wait....what?

    Ep 27- From Minneapolis to the National Bank...wait....what?
    2026/01/28
    This week in 4th Period U.S. History, we open with Minneapolis. Bovino removed. Noem removed. Public, forceful, and unmistakably clear. The rhetoric shifts fast when state violence stops being theoretical and starts affecting white, Second-Amendment-carrying Americans. This isn’t to diminish the seriousness of what happened—it’s to point out an uncomfortable truth: open-air executions, deportations of children, and the erosion of due process are not new. They are only newly visible to people who were taught to believe they were immune.

    For Black and brown communities, none of this is breaking news. This isn’t a warning sign—it’s the rerun. What changed wasn’t the behavior of the state, but who finally felt it. The episode refuses to play the “this isn’t who we are” game, because historically, it very much is. Liberty in the United States has always been conditional, probationary, and selectively enforced. Some people are born knowing that. Others are just now reading the fine print.

    Then we return to our regularly scheduled hypocrisy: Thomas Jefferson vs. Alexander Hamilton and the creation of the National Bank. Jefferson hated it. Feared it. Spent years trying to kill it—then immediately benefited from it to buy half the continent. Turns out ideological purity is flexible when empire is on the line. The class ends where it probably should: America doesn’t run on principles, it runs on contradictions. And the real lesson isn’t that this is new—it’s that it’s working exactly as designed.
