The course emphasizes the role played by political, economic, cultural, and intellectual forces in American society and the development of multiple ethnic groups in a comparative format. Beginning with a review of the Civil War, HIST 321 closely examines the Reconstruction Era, the societal "place" of African Americans, the development of "Jim Crow" segregation, and the subsequent legal demise of segregation in American life. The course pays particular attention to the ways in which African Americans and their lived experiences have influenced the formation and development of this nation; and examines the ways in which racial issues have shaped American society, culture, and politics. This course is designed to respect all students as human beings irrespective of race, creed, color, political affinity, socioeconomic class, gender, sexual preference, ability/disability, age, ethnicity, or culture. Credit may be earned for HIST 321 or HIST 487, but not both.Usually HeldTue Thu 1:00pm–2:20pm, Mon Wed 10:30am–11:50am
