I've never heard of a class or course called Question. Please follow directions before you use the Post a New Question form.

You need to be more specific: "heritage and popular culture" when? In the colonial era? During the War of 1812? In the Civil War era? Or .... when?

Here are a few that help define our culture and heritage. "Yankee Doodle" "Star-Spangled Banner" "America" "America the Beautiful" "This Land is Your Land" "Amazing Grace"

Ms. Sue's list is perfect. Songs on the current-day Top 40 list are generally pretty awful and don't represent the country as a whole, it seems to me.
