This course examines the social, political, and economic transformations that marked the first fifty years of the new American nation. These years witnessed the emergence of the nation's first formal political parties and a radical democratization of the political system, early industrialization and the rise of wage labor in the North, the expansion and solidification of slavery in the South, the hardening of racial and gender ideologies throughout the nation, and an explosion of reform movements in response to these dramatic new developments. Students will engage with a wide range of primary and secondary sources in order to come to their own understandings of this formative period in American history. Offering: Spring Instructor: Cotlar
