F. Dudden Reconstructing the South after secession and civil war, and after the emancipation of some four million slaves, was arguably the greatest deliberately undertaken social project in American history. It began almost as soon as the war broke out, in captured territory in 1861, and lasted until the so-called Compromise of 1877 withdrew the last federal troops from the South. There is limited coverage of wartime events and military history. Topics from political history include the presidencies of Andrew Johnson and U.S. Grant, impeachment, Radical Reconstruction, the Reconstruction (13th, 14th, and 15th) Amendments, the uneasy coalitions and terrorist violence that marked southern politics in those years, and the process known as "Redemption." The course also deals with topics drawn from social and cultural history, African-American history, women's history, and contemporaneous developments in the North and the West. Prerequisites: HIST 200 and 206

D. Bouk America faced many crises between 1914 and 1945. Its people fought two horrible wars, and it endured an economic meltdown of unprecedented proportions. Few periods of American history seem so crucial, yet the crisis did not belong to the United States alone: it was a world crisis. This course treats it as such, and students examine American history during these tumultuous years through a global lens. Using the methods of transnational and comparative history, students work to come to a fuller understanding of what happened to the United States in the world as it endured World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II. Students in this course leave the class having made their own contributions to the scholarship on America's place in this age of global distress.
