Section Information for Spring 2027

This course surveys the history of the geographical area that became the United States, from pre-colonization to the post-Civil War Reconstruction era. For those of you who like dates, our course runs roughly from 1450 (when Europeans began exploring the world in earnest and writing about what they found) until the end of Reconstruction in 1877. The class format will be a combination of lectures, discussions, and in-class work. Our focus will be not only the development of institutions, but also the social and cultural history of American peoples over roughly four centuries.
