    Description
    This course presents a survey of the history of the United States from the perspective of African Americans and compares the African experience with the experiences of Europeans, Native Americans, Asian Americans, and Mexicans/Mexican Americans. Early African presence in the Americas, the trade in African slaves, and the political, economic, demographic, and cultural influences shaping African American life and culture prior to 1865 will be examined. The U.S. government and the Constitution, the California government and Constitution, and other constitutional models for comparison and contrast will also be covered.
