HST 357, 358 - Alternative America: The Losers’ History of the United States

1 course unit
Much of the history we read is written by the winners of past conflicts.  This course examines major events in America’s past, such as the ratification of the Constitution, the sectional conflict of the antebellum era, and the industrialization of the late nineteenth century, from the perspective of the losers in those conflicts.  We will consider the criticisms made by the losers and their alternatives to determine how different the United States might have been had they prevailed.
Meets general academic requirement HU (and W when offered as 358).
