Above section open to all students

This course is a survey of United States history since the Civil War
(1865).  It will be concerned with major events in the recent American
experience, such as world wars, the Great Depression, and the Civil
Rights Movement, but will also focus attention on overarching themes,
such as race, gender, class, region, and technological innovations,
which have uniquely defined modern America.  Student assignments will
include two major exams and two book reviews.
