This seminar will explore the history of the Middletown area, which in many respects has been a microcosm of New England--even of the U.S. The primary focus will be the era of the First World War. How did the people, businesses, schools, labor unions, political parties, churches, fraternal societies, and other organizations in this area participate in the war? How were they affected by the war? What was the long-term impact? Students in the seminar will learn more about this significant area and also will learn how to do original research. |
