HIS123 — US to Reconstruction
The study of US history is the study of ourselves as human beings and our connection to the larger world and global historical trends. Such an understanding, explored through events such as the Enlightement, religious revivalism, the Revolution, reform movements, westward settlement and the Civil War will allow students to develop an insight into the dynamics and reciprocity of the individual and society. Students will ground their insights into human nature and American culture by gaining familiarity with this body of historical knowledge.
