    Description
    This course was formerly known as HIST 310 History of the United States (To 1877). This course surveys the history of the United States by examining its Native American, European, and African backgrounds beginning with prehistoric migrations of America's first inhabitants through the end of Reconstruction in 1877. This course emphasizes the roles played by cultural, economic, intellectual, political, and social institutions in American history, with an eye toward understanding the history of multiple ethnic groups in a comparative framework. Credit may be earned for History 310 or History 483, but not for both.
