Title: Race, Civil War, and Reconstruction
Description: The American Civil War punctuated the 19th century and transformed the nation. This seminar will explore the era of the Civil War and Reconstruction, and its aftermath, from the perspectives of social, cultural, intellectual, and political history. Our exploration will proceed from two premises: first, that race and slavery were central to the causes and consequences of the war; and second, that the war and its legacies remain central to the trajectory of modern U. S. history. Note that this is not a course in military history.
