Section Information for Spring 2012

This course examines history and the built environment of the Antebellum South. Students will read the work of interdisciplinary cultural historians who study documents, historical archeology, architecture and settlement patterns. We will consider recent scholarship about Anglican churches, slave housing, rural plantations and city dwellings. The course will help us comprehend how the institution of slavery was embedded in the landscape; how building design, function and location both reflected and contributed to perceptions of slavery; and how the cultural landscape changed overtime. Course requirements include class presentations, lively discussion, and a 15-20 page research paper. This course will satisfy the “Origins to 1861” distribution requirement in U.S. history.
