Section Information for Fall 2020

This discussion-based online seminar examines the American Revolution as a social, cultural, and political phenomenon that accompanied the War of Independence but one whose ultimate significance remained unsettled for at least decade after the Treaty of Paris. The course begins roughly in 1763 and follows American colonists through the imperial crisis that led to the declaration of independence and years of war with Britain, followed by the creation of a national republic and attempts to forge a distinctive American identity. Although we will, of course, discuss aspects of the war itself, please note that this is not a course in military history.

HIST 631 DL2 is a distance education section that meets synchronously. Students should expect to be online at the day and time scheduled.
