## Resource

On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Jeremiah and Juan discuss the nature of American foreign policy before introducing Wilfred McClay. Americans have overcome many challenges throughout our history, including the American Revolution, the Civil War, the Great Depression, two World Wars, and the Cold War. Studying the great stories from our past inspires us to preserve the blessings of liberty in our day. Now you can study these stories with Hillsdale College. Hillsdale’s free online course, “The Great American Story: A Land of Hope,” explores the history of America as a land of hope founded on high principles. In presenting the great triumphs and achievements of our nation’s past, as well as the shortcomings and failures, it offers a broad and unbiased study of the kind essential to the cultivation of intelligent patriotism. After a respite from foreign affairs following the War of 1812, the United States emerged as a world power by the end of the nineteenth century. American involvement in Cuba and the Philippines raised important questions concerning the nature of the republic. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
