The groups at each end of the spectrum have developed into radical factions, much to the dismay of the Americans in the middle of the…

They were not only obvious victims of violence, but also victims of gender exploitation, powerlessness, and cultural imperialism as described by social justice theorist Iris Young.

The thematic learning object of AP U.S. History that relates best to Nathaniel Philbrick’s “Mayflower” and the final five chapters of H.W. Brands’ ‘American Dreams’ is Politics and Power. “This theme focuses on how different social and political groups have influenced society and government in the United States,” which can be seen throughout both texts.
