HIST 413 - American Revolution

(3.00)

This course will explore the era of the American Revolution. We will examine what many historians call the “long Revolution,” from the 1760s until about 1800. The course will emphasize the internal revolution within American society that was sparked by the conflict with Britain. This internal revolution saw different groups of peoples trying to enact conflicting visions of freedom and democracy. As part of this project, we’ll try to understand what the Revolution meant to prominent “founding fathers” such as Thomas Jefferson and John Adams as well as what it meant to ordinary people: farmers, artisans, women, slaves, and Indians.
