HIS* E226 - The U.S. Civil War (3 credits)


Code(s): SSCI
Prerequisite(s): ENG* E101  
 
This course will emphasize the origins of the Civil War, its revolutionary nature, and its immediate and long-term consequences for the South and the nation. Although the military events of the war will occupy a portion of class studies, we will also focus on the key social, political, and economic questions of the era, with particular attention on the more activist role of government at that time, as well as on the significance of slavery and emancipation both during and after the war. Course Outline: HIS 226
