United States History
Description
We aim to present American history in a balanced way, fostering appreciation of America's unique contributions without any political agenda. The course materials are selected with this goal in mind.
We use as a framework the excellent and comprehensive course The History of the United States, from Great Courses. This course includes 84 half-hour lectures.
Alongside the lecture series, students study key primary sources including the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and autobiographies representing colonial leaders, civil rights activists, Native Americans and modern immigrants. Movies, classic works of literature, and a graphic novel memoir of a civil rights leader are also included.
