Graduate · 3 credits

The modern nation of the United States of America was born out of European colonization and the early encounters between European colonists, Native Americans, and Africans and their descendants. The themes that arise from these early encounters as they created the New World continue to shape America's social, political, economic, and cultural landscape to this day. In this course, students investigate how historians understand the different facets of the creation of this New World, including armed conflict, cultural cooperation, gender roles, free and coerced labor, environmental issues, and the role of religion in conquest.
