HIST 304 The American Revolution (1754-1789)

The American Revolution created American history by creating a new nation. What the American Revolution was depends to a large extent upon what Americans think they are or ought to be. The goals of this course are twofold: (1) to probe the nature, causes and consequences of the American Revolution; (2) to assess the intentions and behavior of both the framers in 1754-1783 and of the inheritors of modern America. Prerequisites: HIST 103 - United States to 1877 or instructor consent.
