Chronologically up to this point. This lecture is going kind of spin us out onto a thematic topic. So were going to start right around Thomas Jefferson, who we left off talking about on monday, but were going to jump the way through forward to the usmexico war and the civil war. And so a lot of the topics were talking about today, theyre also going to come up in our future lectures. So just know that if you feel slightly unmoored when it comes to what time were in, im going to do my best to signpost, but just flag me down. Youre like, weve suddenly jumped 20 years. Thats going to happen today because its a more of a thematic topic. But what i really want us to get out of this is a deeper insight into this question. Weve been talking throughout the class, which is once you have an empire, how you exert control over it and how is the new us federal government, which we started to talk about on monday, going to control the interior west is going to be its kind of biggest problem. So well
