HIST 357A - US South Since The Civil War

Institution:

Catholic University of America

Subject:

History

Description:

This course will survey the history of the American South from the end of the Civil War through the current day. Its purposes are two-fold: to provide students an understanding of the South and of Southerners, and to explore what the experience of the South can teach us about America as a nation. Through primary and secondary readings, lectures, and class discussions we will examine such topics as: the political and economic reconstruction of the South after the Civil War; the Populist revolt; the politics of race in the era of Jim Crow and disfranchisement; the rise of the ¿Sunbelt¿ South; the Civil Rights movement; and the question of persisting regional distinctiveness.
