HS203 War & Peace: America 1877-1945
During the period from the end of Reconstruction through World War II the United States became an urbanized, industrialized nation and a global power. To understand this transformation, the course will examine the experience of African Americans in the South and Native Americans in the West, the struggles between labor and capital, the Progressive responses to industrial America, and the experience of women and immigrants. The paramount importance of World War I, the Great Depression, and World War II will also be explored along with the dynamic social and cultural impulses that marked the first half of the twentieth century.
