|
Credits
3.00
This history course is an introduction to the political, economic, and social (with an emphasis on race, gender, and class) development of the American nation starting with Reconstruction. The primary objectives of this course are to develop your skills as a critical reader and provide you with fundamental knowledge about the events, people and institutions that have influenced and created America. We will examine how the perceptions of freedom and equality shifted and thus shaped American History. In addition, the course will investigate the various "dreams" Americans had as the nation progressed and how these are interpreted by contemporary historians. Key topics include the rise of industrialism and capitalism, the impact of immigration and urbanization, the rise of the US as a global power (including foreign relations) and how populism, civil rights and feminism shaped our culture, political and social institutions. 3 Cr Hrs. Course Requirement(s): None.
