HIS2031 Civil War & Reconstruction

This course investigates the era of the Civil War from the origins of the conflicts that led to the bloodiest war in US history to the hopes, gains, challenges and failures of Reconstruction. This is not a course in military history, though it does examine key military events and issues, but instead focuses on the political, social, and cultural history of the period. Fundamental to our investigation is the issue of freedom and the identity of the United States. We will also look at the development of myths and other accounts about the war from the “Lost Cause” to the present—that is, how the Civil War is “remembered.” Credits: 3.000
