History Discussion
Between 200 and2016, the US experienced remarkable changes internationally and domestically. By any measure, the terrorist attack of Sept. 11, 2001, was a game changer. With that a long, still-ongoing "war on terror" began that meant military engagements overseas and increased domestic security measures. In 2008, remarkably, the US elected its first African American president, Barack Obama. He was elected to a second term in 2012.
Discuss the following topic related to American history under President Obama:
1. Discuss president Obama's election and presidency. (Considering our many explorations of race relations and Civil Rights in our history, there is much that can be said of President Obama's election and presidency, and it is still perhaps too early to evaluate fully.)
o Identify two specific examples that you think were the most important developments of Obama's presidency.
o Explain why you chose those two examples.
o Identify the source(s) where you read about these changes of the early 21st Century.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
