Violent Right-Wing Movements in U.S. History
HIST 335 FA
The Christian Patriot movement that is organizing today to overthrow the U.S. government (or Zionist Occupied Government, as they call it) belongs to a long tradition of right-wing movements stretching back at least to
the Ku Klux Klan of the 1860s and
1870s, if not earlier. This seminar will explore that history.
