This course covers major themes in United States history with an emphasis on political, social, and cultural movements since 1865. Lectures and discussions will focus on racial and class tensions stemming from slavery, urbanization, westward and global expansion, immigration, the rise of the welfare state, and America as it emerged as a world power and an economic hegemon. Using race, gender, and class as categories of analysis, students will learn to critically engage with primary sources in order to question which groups have been included and which have been categorically excluded from the legal and cultural boundaries of American citizenship. Ultimately, students will leave the class with the tools necessary to make broader connections between the issues facing Americans in the past and the policies and politics still relevant to the United States today.
