About this course
The course offers an introduction to the forces that shaped American political, social, and cultural institutions from the origins of the American colonies through the American Civil War. The course traces American history as global history through study of the encounter and mixing of global cultures in the making of diverse American cultures and in the encounter of the United States with other nations in foreign policy, trade and war. The historical experiences of persons of Native/Indigenous, African, Latino, and European descent are considered, as are the histories of American racism, enslavement, territorial expansion, and resistance by marginalized peoples. Historical experiences of gender are also analyzed.
