Section Information for Fall 2010

This course will examine the events and the individuals that shaped the development of the United States from 1876 to the present. This is a time of tremendous change for the nation as it becomes a world power, experiences the immigration of millions of new people, undergoes a tremendous growth of its cities, is shaken by the dropping of the atomic bomb and the start of the cold war, copes with civil rights and anti-war activists, experiences a technology revolution, and elects its first African American president. How the nation reacts to and adjusts to these many changes will drive the course. It will use film, first hand narratives, primary documents, newspaper articles, and oral histories to provide a sense of the thoughts and the concerns of individuals at the time of the events under examination. The course also will examine how these past events have impacted and shaped our present day world.
