HIST 5002 - Colonial British North America
Covers North American history from initial British settlement to the conclusion of the French and Indian War. In this time British colonies evolved into increasingly mature, stable societies. Demographic and economic expansion made possible a prosperous and relatively egalitarian society, which in turn affected the legal and political settlement. Yet, amidst all these promising developments, African slavery and the dispossession of Native Americans became ever more deeply entrenched. Examines the expansion of the British American empire and the costs this empire exacted. Topics covered include: pre-Columbian Native American societies, early English settlement, the Caribbean, comparative colonial development, trade, political culture, gender relations and the construction of family, witchcraft, war, migration, evangelical awakenings, urbanization, consumption, and slavery.
