American Experience Project

The American Experience Project was a program run by the U.S federal government before the Great War. While the project's purpose was to "educate the American people about their rich and proud history", in reality, it was little more than a propaganda program.
==Background==
The American Experience Project officially began in the winter of 2075. The project mainly focused on historical aspects of America: from the founding of the nation and everything up to current times. Exhibits were built all over cities, while television, radio and billboards were plastered with patriotic advertisements, all leading up to a major, nation-wide celebration of the American Tricentennial.
During the early months of 2076, every street of America were lined with posters, paintings, American flags, and many other forms related to the coming tricentennial. During this period, there were mass arrests of many political activists and groups, all branded as suspected communists and Chinese spies.
This would all lead up to biggest national celebration in American history. The National Guard fired their weapons for the celebrations, setting off explosives and firing off artillery rounds. Military parades also occurred during the celebrations, with the new T-51b and the old T-45d Power Armored Units marching along with regular Army units.
==Propaganda==
The propaganda that was used included using footage from the "Red Summer" such as the invasion of Japan and Korea. When the project started, it was during the reclamation of Alaska and as a result often used footage and even movies of communist forces attacking towns and capturing civilians.
