| Department: | History |
| Description: | The American Revolution stands undeniably as a watershed moment in the history of global human societies. This historical period witnessed the emergence of a new republic principled upon radical ideas of social equality and the inherent rights of human beings while the architects of that same republic materially benefited from the forced labor of half a million souls kept in bondage. This readings-heavy, discussion-based course calls on students to familiarize themselves with writings and historical sources that emerged from the Revolutionary Era and Early National Period produced by both the traditional "founders" as well as those who levied sharp critiques and challenges to the uniquely optimistic and inequitable age the Revolution ushered into existence. Students will ideally walk away with both an extensive knowledge of the facts of the American Revolution, as well as enduring questions about the grand "experiment" that the Revolution birthed. |
