Students will be introduced to the history of the United States from the European Encounter through the Civil War. Using the methodology of the social sciences, students will learn and evaluate the major political, social, cultural, scientific-technological, economic, and natural developments that shaped the United States during its formative years; when the American republic was founded, expanded, and tested by division. Students will give special attention to the unique contributions made by diverse peoples and institutions, and the responsibilities of educated citizens today. Corequisite/Prerequisite: ENG 1510.

Students will look beyond the textbooks to consider the presence of the past in everyday life and the public sector. Students will explore the many non-academic sources that shape Americans' understanding of history, from oral traditions and public memorials to museums and documentaries. Readings and assignments will also take a critical look at issues of public "memory" in the United States. Why are certain histories preserved while others are forgotten? Why is it that the past can be so controversial? This is a course for anyone interested in a history-related career or anyone intrigued by the lessons the past has to teach us today.
