Course Description:
This course introduces students to major developments in the political, economic, social, and environmental history of North America from the sixteenth to the mid-nineteenth century. We will study Indigenous sovereignty, European colonialism, the Atlantic slave trade, the American Revolution, industrialization, abolitionism, U.S. wars with Native nations, and the U.S. Civil War. Students will be challenged to imagine American history within Atlantic and global contexts, to comprehend the expansiveness of hundreds of Native American homelands, and to center struggles for Black freedom, Indigenous sovereignty, and gender equality. |
