History of the United States After the Civil War 

In this overview of recent U.S. history we will ponder four broad questions: what has equality meant in the United States; how has democracy worked; how has the American economy developed; and what role has the United States played in the world?

We all meet Monday and Wednesday for fifty minutes in the lecture hall.  All students also attend a discussion section that meets once a week for fifty minutes.
