Section Information for Fall 2010

What kind of society did African Americans and whites build in the southern states? This course examines the South as it became a distinctive region of the United States between 1780 and 1861. The communities constructed by Native Americans, African Americans and Euro Americans are a focus as is the functioning of the South as a slave society. Major organizing questions concern the composition and workings of southern society, economy, culture, and politics. Also important is the extent to which the South constituted a separate and distinctive enclave in North America. (This course fulfills the Origins to 1861 distribution requirement in US history.)
