This was a short lecture about politics on the Plains. Plains states tend to send Republicans to the state government and Democrats to the national government. This seems odd to me since most Plains states are considered Republican states. It would seem then that they should send Republicans to both parts of the government if they are considered Republican states. Radicals were the next subject for the lecture. Agrarian radicals show up most on the Plains. This is because there are a lot of farmers on the Plains. Then we moved to the 4 point model and Gordon Kahl. Next was the dependency theory which covered the Staples Theory, Carl Kraenzel, Elwyn Robinson's 6 Themes, American Sectionalism, and the dependency theory in the southern hemisphere. Politics are not my favorite subject but it was still a good lecture.
