This survey course covers Anglo-American history from the period of colonial settlement to the immediate aftermath of the Civil War. Major social, political, economic and cultural developments will be examined.

The objective of this course is to provide students with a general knowledge and understanding of Anglo-American history to 1877, as well as to introduce them to some important historiographical debates and historical methodologies.
