HIST 151-02, United States History to 1877, Fall, 1998

Abstract

The purpose of this course is to provide a general knowledge of the social, political, and economical developments in the United States from the post-Reconstruction era to recent times. In doing so, we will look closely at major events, ideas, institutions, and people over approximately 100 years. Hopefully, investigating such aspects of nineteenth and twentieth century America will provide the student with a historical context for more specific components of the American experience(s).
