Abstract
This course examines the competing political ideologies of the Early Republic and explores the ways social, religious, and economic decisions impacted America’s construction of its political identity. Those excluded from the political culture - native Americans, African Americans, propertyless workers, and women - are examined in the context of the cultures they created. We will also explore the emergence of feminism, anti-slavery, utopian communities, and the moral reform movements against poverty, drunkenness and illiteracy.
