Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

class examines the remarkable first six decades of American life after the creation of the Constitution. To explore this critical period, we will focus on how the idea of democracy was developed, expanded, maintained, and contested. To trace the evolution of American democracy, we will examine the creation of political parties, the development of social reform movements, the rise of religious revivalism, the development of capitalism, and the treatment of women, immigrants, African-Americans, and native Americans. Through this examination we will consider how an American political culture developed that defined some people as legitimate democratic participants and others as political and social "outsiders."
