Sport is ubiquitous in the United States. From Teddy Roosevelt's ponderings to Serena Williams' being, it is not an understatement to say that the US is a sporting society. When considering the arc of US History over the past century plus, sports can offer a window into fundamental change over time across so much of the spectrum of this unique, pluralistic society. This course will endeavor to examine the role that sports have played in the transcendence of the US's modern social history, from myths created, to legends deified, to barriers broken - a unique history unto itself.

Prerequisite: Open to students in fifth and sixth form. Must have taken US History or taken it concurrently
