This course will explore the major events and cultural trends that shaped the United States between the Civil War and the Great Depression. We will begin by tackling the complexities of our nation's original sin, slavery. We then move on to examining race, gender, and class as significant factors that drove the close of the nineteenth century. The course will end by asking where is the United State's role in the world, and how do our policies and actions influence the global community.
