About this course
This course is designed to introduce students to the major problems of the era of the U.S. American Civil War and Reconstruction. We will look at how this particular epoch reshaped the terms of warfare, freedom, and labor in the United States. Among the more important questions raised in this class will be how the issues of slavery and state?s rights divided the nation, the ramifications of the war on both the South and the North, and how emancipation and post-war Reconstruction succeeded by some measures and failed by others.
