HIST 3008 - The Age of Hamilton and Jackson: Life in Early America
This class examines the founding and early decades of the United States, an era that continues to weigh heavily in American politics, thought, and culture. Students examine the country’s revolutionary origins and the constitutional framework created in the 1770s and 1780s through its expansion across the Continent in the 1840s. They examine how diverse peoples of European, African, and Native American ancestry struggled to coexist and accommodate one another in North America. The course explores the developments and lasting legacies of institution building, slavery, debates over political economy, westward expansion, (including its effects on Native and African-Americans), the nation’s place on the world stage, and the emergence of competing parties and ideologies during the Jacksonian period.
