The authors of American Yawp begin their effort with a pertinent quote from Walt Whitman. This course takes an approach to history that fosters a method of critical thought and a rigorous questioning of the history of the United States. Key topics include the characteristics and legends of the New World, imperial European cultures and their clashes, British North America, colonial society, the American Revolution and the new nation, the early American Republic, the market revolution, the challenges of democracy in America, religion and political reform, the old south, the consequences of Manifest Destiny, sectionalism, the Civil War, and Reconstruction.

This course comes from The American Yawp, a free, collaboratively-built textbook curated by Joseph Locke & Ben Wright. It also includes the American Yawp Reader and a handful of other primary resources identified by various faculty across the country. Other minor adaptations and additions have been provided by Lumen Learning.
