Class Details

This course will survey the history of the United States from its struggles over Reconstruction and westward expansion through the challenges of industrialization and immigration to the nation’s increasingly global role in the post-World War II period. We will pay special attention to how Americans defined both themselves as citizens and the nation at-large, particularly as they faced the profound economic and political crises that mark this period. Reading assignments will include sources from the time, as well as historical interpretations.
