conditions that led to the founding and creation of the United
States---and to its crisis at mid-century.

Readings (about 75-100 pages a week) will include a survey textbook,
and other readings, such as Edmund Morgan, The Puritan Dilemma, and
Melton McLaurin, Celia: A Slave.

Requirements:  Attend lectures; read and think. Evaluations will be in
terms of three examinations (each 25% of course grade) and writing
assignments (25%).
