Description: This course is a study of the events leading to the sectional crisis that resulted in the Civil War (1861-1865), the four years of war, and Reconstruction through 1877. Students will examine the development of the Southern plantation based economy in contrast to the industrialized North, and the contest for national power as the United States expanded west adding new territories and states during the ante bellum years. Major attention is given to the struggle over the issue of the expansion of slavery into these new lands. The social, economic, cultural, political, and military aspects of the struggle are studied in order to gain an analytical understanding of the causes, course and results of the war and its impact on the changing roles of all Americans including the changing roles of women and blacks in American society. The course examines the impact of the Emancipation Proclamation and subsequent freedom for African Americans (via the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution) up to the removal of Federal troops from the South in 1877.
