Allegheny College

Subject:

Description:

An historical examination of the period of the Second American Revolution, from 1846 to 1895. In the middle of the nineteenth century, the United States underwent a series of profound transformations centered on the Civil War and the long years of Reconstruction that followed. Among these transformations were the sectional developments of politics, the changing sphere of liberty, the abolition of slavery and the developing meaning of freedom, the relationship between the federal and state governments, and profound changes in the nature of the Constitution and laws. Not all of the transformations were immediately effective, but our task is to understand how they came about, developed, and changed the United States and its people. Prerequisites: History 140, History 230, or History 328 and permission of the instructor.
