AFST 30209 - Jacksonian America: Politics, Culture, and Society, 1815-1848

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Africana Studies

Description:

This course explores the early 19th-century history of the United States, from the close of the War of 1812 to the coming of the Civil War (1815-48). Although the era and course take their name from President Andrew Jackson, we will cover much more than national politics and affairs of state. We will explore the birth of mass political parties, conflicts between nationalism and sectionalism, early industrialization and the rise of class conflict, the development of slavery and antislavery, changing gender roles and the rise of feminism, evangelical religion and reform, and Native American resistance and removal.
