This survey course will introduce important themes in the history of the United States during The Long 19th century (the early Republic to WWI), a period of rapid displacement, settlement, and migration. With a commitment to teaching and learning "history from below," we will examine topics such as territorial expansion; development of capitalist enterprises; African, African American, and Indigenous enslavement and freedoms; overlapping migrant diasporas; and contestations over the meanings of democracy, by uplifting the perspectives of historically marginalized peoples. In doing so, we will come to recognize how formations of race, class, gender, and sexuality are inextricable from the formation of the nation. |
