Political & Social Hist-U.S.-HIST103-20444
This course covers the development of American institutions and society from Reconstruction to the present. In that time, the United States grew from a rural and disconnected nation with little influence in world affairs, to an integrated and urban nation that dominated the world. Along the way, daily life changed dramatically for all Americans. We will also stress the ways that history is an argument about the meaning of the past. We will join that argument through discussions and our own interpretations of primary sources. We will develop our abilities to express ourelves clearly and persuasively, in speech and writing.

Post WWII History-HIST210-20445
This class explores the development of the United States since 1945. We will consider significant aspects of the politics, society, and culture of the post-war period: the Civil Rights movement, Chicano movement, and other movements for racial justice; changes in the role of women; the Cold War, including the Vietnam war and the arms race; the rise of a New Right, including the success of Ronald Reagan; and the War on Terror. In addition, each student will identify an appropriate subject of their own interest, then research and write about the subject using historical sources. This is a writing-intensive class: a significant amount of instruction will be devoted to the process of researching, writing, and revising in history. Due to this class, students should be able to: (1) Discuss major events, people, and controversies in the US since 1945; (2) Read and interpret primary and secondary sources; and (3) Write organized essays that synthesize historical sources.
