11. Slavery and State Rights, Economies and Ways of Life: What Caused the Civil War? 18.09.2026 57minThe Civil War and Reconstruction (HIST 119)Professor Blight begins this lecture with an attempt to answer the question "why did the South secede in 1861?"

10. New Modes and Orders: Machiavelli's The Prince (chaps. 1-12) 18.09.2026 44minIntroduction to Political Philosophy (PLSC 114)The lecture begins with an introduction of Machiavelli's life and the political scene in Renaissance Florence.
