History 1980 Special Topics: Early History of Minnesota (1600 – 1865)

MWF: 11:30 to 12:30

Before it became a state, the place we now know as Minnesota had a long history as the homeland of the Dakota (and later, the Ojibwe). After 1600, incursions of European explorers, prospectors and fur traders contributed to its character as a crossroads of entrepreneurial and imperial ambitions, at once connected to the world economy but also geographically isolated from many of the developments that shaped other areas of early colonial America. This course examines the complex histories of intercultural relations that developed during the fur trade era, the gradual incorporation of the region into the expanding United States and the demographic and political developments that led to statehood in 1858, and to the Dakota – U.S. War in 1862.  Questions?

History 1420: History of Mexico
T/TH 12:50-2:30
Hamline Plan: O, D, C

This course explores major themes in Mexican social, political and economic history, focusing on the period since independence. Following an overview of some of the significant developments in the 19th century, the course traces the momentous events of the world’s first social revolution of the 20th century, which transformed Mexico during the years 1910 to 1917 and beyond. The changes wrought by the Revolution paved the way for the distinctive course Mexico has charted throughout the twentieth century, different from other Latin American countries in many respects. The class also examines the close but often conflictual relationship between Mexico and the United States, paying close attention to the course and consequences of the Mexican-American War (1846-48) for both countries, as well as to more recent patterns of migration and the politicization of the border.
