This enlightening 8-part series guided by the insights of historian Bill Federer. This course is meticulously designed to uncover the cyclical nature of governance and power throughout 6000 years of human history, exploring the enduring struggle between the forces of tyranny and the quest for liberty. By delving into the past, we seek to understand:
- How have societies transitioned from freedom to autocracy?
- What patterns emerge in the rise and fall of civilizations?
- How rare and fragile is the experiment of a republic, especially in the context of the American experience?
- What lessons can we draw from history to safeguard our freedoms today?
In addition to addressing these pivotal questions, the course will confront the complexities of human governance, the allure of power, and the principles that have historically underpinned the move from autocracy to democratic forms of government and back.
We invite you on this journey through time, to grasp the delicate balance between power and liberty, and to emerge more equipped to partake in the preservation of the precious experiment that is our American Republic.
