HIS 1000 Themes in American History
3.0 Hours; 3.0 Credits
This course is designed to introduce students to the historical development of fundamental American political and social institutions through the close examination of a major theme in American history. Themes might include but are not restricted to the issue of divided political sovereignty in a federal system, the national experience of war, the changing demography of Americans, the frontier, rural-urban tensions, or reform movements in America. The course will also introduce students to the principles of historical inquiry through small-group projects, written exercises in evaluation of historical sources, and discussion of historical debates over interpretation and evidence.
