HIS 234 - Establishing the U

Institution:

Adelphi University

Subject:

Description:

3 credits This course will focus on two of the most pivotal events in early American history: the American Revolution and the Constitution. Over the course of the semester, we will decide just how revolutionary the Revolution was—what changed as a result of it and, equally important, what did not. We will discuss several of the period’ s key figures (especially Hamilton, Madison, and Jefferson) and issues (especially slavery, native Americans, the extension of a market economy, and the extent of federal power). Over the course of the semester, students will prepare a short research paper based on the course readings, other readings chosen by the student, and original research in primary sources.
