HIST 2510 The American Revolution 3.0 Credits
In this course students interpret what independence meant for the inhabitants of North America and the world. Students explore broad themes relating to the revolution, including American resistance to British rule, the decision for independence, and America’s victory in the Revolutionary War. Students also consider marginalized figures and groups, including loyalists, women, African Americans, and American Indians, whose roles challenge conventional interpretations of the revolution, and interrogate how the revolution gave birth to a new (and fractious) style of politics under the Articles of Confederation and the U.S. Constitution.
