United States History, 1865 - Present
The goal of this course is to provide students with a basic
understanding of American history since 1865. Focusing on
both the domestic scene and America's changing place in
world affairs, the class will return to a number of themes:
America's growing economic and military power in the world
— and the limits of this power; the development of a mass
culture; the growth of a powerful economy and the efforts to
distribute its munificence, to blunt its inequalities, and to
maintain its prosperity; the struggle to win the rights of
citizenship for all Americans, regardless of race, class, creed,
or sex; and the efforts of America's political leaders and the
national government to manage and control the changing
political, economic, cultural, and international situation.
