HIST 1301: United States History, Williams
Overview
This course looks at the “big picture” of United States history. This course explores the ways in which Americans created their highly original society and culture, the stunning geographical changes that marked the early decades of our new nation, documents that reveal the evolution of key American concepts as well as the many controversies that characterized the second half of US history. One of the goals of this course is for students to come to understand the practice of historical thinking: a form of "reading" the past that you can also apply to any number of other aspects of your college work.
