This course will explore recent approaches to the study of the American Revolution, considered broadly as the period from the end of the French and Indian War through the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. Important themes include the social causes of the American Revolution; the cultural basis of political identity; the role of women and African Americans in the War for Independence; the development of representative institutions at the state and federal level; and transatlantic connections between the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions. Students will be expected to write three short papers on the readings; participate in class discussions; and do a final take-home essay exam. This course fulfills the US, “Origins to 1861” requirement.
