Section Info:
Description: This course surveys U.S. history from the end of the Civil War to the recent past. It explores the ways in which people from varied backgrounds experienced the nation’s rise from a primarily agrarian regional power to an industrialized global power. Particular attention is paid to the struggles to achieve a multiracial democracy, the economic and political tensions that arose from industrialization and urbanization, and the intersections between domestic and international affairs. Transformative events are examined from the perspectives of elites who had easy access to the levers of power, activists who fought for change on behalf of traditionally disadvantaged groups, and ordinary Americans who may or may not have been politically active. Students will learn the practice of historical interpretation as they examine documents produced by people from a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives as they endeavored to understand and influence the development of the United States.
