Description

The American Revolution is perhaps the single most important event in the history of the United States. This class will examine the ideological and intellectual framework that made this revolution possible. The war will be examined not only as a military conflict, but also an event with tangible political, social, economic, racial, and gendered applications. Using primary and secondary sources, this class will be centered on understanding the American mindset from the French and Indian War through the War of 1812. It will analyze how thought influenced action in America ranging from the war to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
