HIST 15A - HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES I

Institution:

Lincoln University - California

Subject:

History

Description:

The course covers the period 1607 (the first English speaking colonies) through 1865 (the end of the American Civil War). We will identify and analyze major themes that appeared in this time frame that continue to shape the United States today. Major themes include the development of wealth, the growth of democracy and the creation of the Constitution, relationships between settlers and native inhabitants, the impact of slavery and sectional conflict. Rather than stressing the memorization of facts and dates, students will be encouraged to cultivate good note-taking skills and to approach complex subjects analytically. (3 units)
