Course Description:
The Northern and Southern regions of the United States have experienced vastly different economic trajectories since the founding of the nation. This divergence was shaped greatly by colonization, slavery, the Civil War, and Jim Crow, with effects that echo until the present day. This course focuses on using economic theory and data to analyze the history of the Southern economy and its context within the national and global economies.
