Subject:

Description:

American Civilization II surveys the history of the United States from 1877 to the present, with emphasis on how major economic, political, and social changes affected the lives and values of Americans. The focus is on how the processes of industrialization, immigration, and urbanization transformed American life from a parochial, “homogeneous,” rural, and agriculturalexperience to an urban, industrial, multicultural nation in an increasingly interdependent world. The class examines the kinds of evidence that historians use to reconstruct the past and challenges students to think analytically about historical sources to learn how people made sense of and shaped modern American civilization. No prerequisite. 3 semester hours.
