Section Information for Fall 2010
This course examines the history of the American South from the end of the Civil War to the end of the twentieth century. Major topics include Reconstruction and its aftermath, racial politics and segregation, efforts to industrialize and modernize the region, the impact of the New Deal and World War II, and the successes and setbacks of the Long Civil Rights Movement. Throughout the course, students will learn as much about African Americans as about whites, as much about poor people as about elites, and as much about women as about men. By the end of the semester, new immigrants, suburbanization, and the rise of the Sunbelt will present new issues to explore.Tags:
