HIST 120 - U.S. in the World to 1877

This course examines the history of North America and the United States from the arrival of humans to North America to the Civil War and Reconstruction to help us better understand the 21st century. We focus on events, groups, and individuals that highlight the roles that colonization, revolution, capitalism’s rise, slavery’s rise and fall, struggles for equality, and the movement of people, goods, and ideas across borders played in remaking early North America and the early US, creating a foundation for our modern world.
