This course examines the forces, people, philosophies, and events that characterized colonial American society and led to the Revolution of 1776. From those beginnings, the ideals and practical necessities of winning the social, political, and military struggle for independence imposed realities that later affected the nation as it sought to consolidate its victory. The 1787 Constitutional Convention was the culmination of one struggle to establish a nation based upon democratic republican principles, and the beginning of another struggle to ensure that those ideals were applied and enjoyed by all Americans.

This course spans the years from 1820 to 1877, starting with the Missouri Compromise and progressing through the Civil War and Reconstruction. During this period, as the United States expanded its territorial boundaries, forged a political identity, and further achieved a sense of national unity, sectional rivalries, industrialization, reform movements, and increasingly hostile confrontations over the language and interpretation of the Constitution led to crisis. This course will examine how those factors contributed toward the 1861-1865 Civil War, with subsequent special emphasis being placed upon how the conflict and post-war Reconstruction influenced America's social, political, cultural, and economic development as it prepared to enter the 20th century.
