Section Info:
Description: This course examines the history of people of African descent in the North America, and will cover the period from colonial settlement to Reconstruction. In this course, we focus on the social, political, economic, medical, and cultural formations that shaped and characterized the experiences of African Americans. This course is designed to show how African American’s historical identity grew directly out of their experience in a unique American society based on human slavery and racial inequality, among other things. Key topics include Atlantic slavery, slavery in the colonial era, the expansion of domestic slavery, enslaved people’s resistance strategies, growing civic and political activism and principles of self-determination within free black communities, and the Civil War, emancipation, and its aftermath.
