HIST 813 - Colonial New York City

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

This course will trace the history of New York City from its Dutch beginnings in 1623 through the English takeover in 1664 to the British evacuation at the end of the American War for Independence. More than anywhere else in Dutch and British North America, colonial New York was the embodiment of economic forces that shaped the Atlantic world in the early modern period. The city's turbulent history is rich in larger-than-life characters and dramatic shifts in fortune. Following lines of inquiry revealing New York's economic, social, political, cultural, and racial past, students will discover much about the character of the present-day metropolis in the 160-year history of the tiny colonial city perched at the tip of Manhattan. 1.00 units, Seminar
