  • HIST 316: The American Nation, 1800- 1850

    3.00 Credits
    Tusculum University

    During the first half of the nineteenth century, the United States established itself as a successful nation in the eyes of the world by fighting a second war with Britain, extending freedom and democracy to many, spreading westward to claim new lands and resources, and welcoming revolutions in commerce, agriculture, transportation, and industry. At the same time, however, the U.S. built its prosperity on such things as Indian removal, slavery, imperialism, loss of cohesive community, environmental destruction, and a growing sectionalism that would eventually tear the nation apart. Thus, good and evil, success and failure, went hand-in-hand in the early American republic, one dependent on the other. This course will explore these elements of the new nation in detail, emphasizing this interesting duality that made the United States what it is. Learning Outcome: Critical Thinking.
