Howe, What Hath God Wrought: The Transformation of America, 1815-1848 (2007), Part 3

Note: Due to the large number of notes I collected for this fascinating period of U.S. history, I divided this blog post into several parts:

• Part 1: The Book and Professor Howe
• Part 2: Video: Lectures in History, C-SPAN
• Part 3: More Video
  (For example: lectures on U.S. history during 1815-1848; author talks and interviews for other books related to this period; television documentaries.)
• Part 4: Encyclopedia Articles and Period Publications
  (By "Period Publications" I mean books and pamphlets published during 1815-1848, and also some published before and after that period. A historian might call some of these items Primary Sources.)
