How much of our understanding of American history is
shaped by outside perspectives? Throughout its history, the United
States has experienced the influx of people and ideas from around
the world. This panel focuses on the French case, bringing together
three stories about how Americans borrowed and exchanged ideas
with the French, and how these encounters transformed the justice
system, the federal government, and even our understanding of
American capitalism.
