Section Information for Spring 2012
Howard Cosell once said: "Sports is human life in microcosm." While an oversimplification, his statement reflects the reality that sports have played and continue to play a vital role in American society. Sports are also a valuable tool for historical assessment. Chronologically, this course will focus on the years from the Civil War onward. The course will not be an exercise in sports trivia, where the focus will be on remembering the last ballplayer to hit .400 (Ted Williams) or the last horse to win the triple crown (Affirmed). Rather this course will use sports, and the many documents surrounding the games, to gain a better understanding of how the United States became the country that it is today.Tags:
