HY 201 - History of the United States I
This course is designed to trace the major historical developments between the founding of the New World to the ordeal of Reconstruction after the Civil War. These developments are explored through the cultures, the rituals, and the people who lived through these times. The primary focus will be on the peopling of the Americas, the early settlements, the Salem witchcraft crisis, and the masculinity and public rituals in the colonial period. The course will continue with the early-nineteenth-century, integrating political events with related social, economic and cultural developments, including the antebellum South and the history of the military battles, emancipation and Reconstruction.
