For those of you who may be interested, the majority of John's references to Eric Foner derive from Foner's critically-acclaimed book _The Story of American Freedom_ (1998). It explores American history through the lens of changing concepts of freedom over time - and how these concepts manifest within the eras of American history that furnished them.

There really just needs to be a crash course history on the entire Kennedy family, because it could be a college course on its own.

I was born in the 1980s, but what I wouldn't give to witness in my lifetime another decade even half as aggressively progressive as the 1960s. Huge leaps forward in technology and economic growth. The highest real minimum wage America has ever known, the lowest unemployment rate, and the least top-heavy distribution of income seen in at least the past 100 years. A dramatic plunge in the poverty rate. The Warren Court's "Rights Revolution." The sexual liberation movement, civil rights, women's rights, gay equality, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps and consumer activism!

I'm a huge fan of the "anthropology" spin you put on history in general. In addition to making each part of our history relevant, you take the focus away from war (which I think is your goal). Thanks!!

It's a 15 minute video on a decade, not "We Didn't Start the Fire." I think John did a pretty good job describing a lot of the events at the time and besides, one of the best things about crashcourse is that it should inspire you to do your own outside research.

"Never go to war with a noun. You WILL LOSE." Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

I am a bit disappointed that you didn't make a single Star Trek reference! Star Trek was a very progressive show from the late 60's that had the first interracial kiss on television, was the only show that MLK let his kids stay up late to watch, had a gay actor, and had a black woman that played a character other than a maid! I really think it should have been mentioned at least once.

I think the one thing we can agree on about the 60's is that it had the best music of any decade.

I feel like the 1960's was the closest time we reached perfection in the US. In the first half, there was liberal politics (you the ones were the congress is actually useful), society, and advancements in technologies. Then the late 60's came, and all of the progression went straight down the s***ter.

Hey, I actually guessed the mystery document today! That has literally never happened before!

Man, Ringo hasn't been dunked on so hard since he was the drummer in the Beatles.

I'm an English teacher at a high school in France, and actually have used quite a few of your videos to help me study for the many certification exams I had to take to become a teacher, and find myself once again referring to your videos to get a quick, clear sum-up of whatever the topic may be (today, the 1960s). I was wondering, has anyone ever asked you, and if not, would you consider, making versions that would be a little simpler and easier to understand for English learners? I find that you get to the point, and give a great overview of many subjects, but I know that even my advanced high school students would have trouble understanding the video mostly because of the speed at which you speak. Just an idea!

Thank you for a summary of the 60's without the popular stress on the music and pop-culture. And congrats on getting George Michael to sponsor y'all!
