HIST 0600 - Readings: America, 1600-1815


Credits: 3

Through readings, student reports, and discussions based on classic as well as new and important historical works, the historiography of early America will be detailed. The focus will remain on the most significant works by historians and others who have increased our knowledge and understanding of colonial America, from exploration through early settlement, from the Puritans to the Great Awakening, from 1763 into the revolutionary era, the “critical period” from 1783 to 1789, and concluding with analysis on how historians have viewed the early national period, including the age of Jefferson and Jackson.
