Hhhmmmm. What is my favorite era in American history?

1.) For those I witnessed myself, first-hand, I'd have to say the civil rights era beginning in the 1950s and into the 1960s, anti-war movement of the 1960s and 1970s, the rise of the second feminist movement in the late 1960s into the 1970s, the recognition of homosexuals as human beings with morals and rights in the late 1960s to today. And, overall, during that time in American history, a feeling of bonding with one's fellow (sisterly?) mankind, something that's dreadfully missing in the aftermath of Reagan's neo-conservatism to today.

2.) Other than that? Hhhmmmmm, I'd have to say the historical timeframe of transition from Britain to the colonies, e.g., the causes, the effects, and the everyday life.

3.) Then, of course, there's the rest of the colonial era u/ the monarchy.

4.) And, the subsequent aftermath until today . . . geez, I just love all of American history! We are "history" every day.
