230 American History 1492-1877 (F/S)
3 Semester Hours
Did Columbus discover America, or did he simply
"blunder" into the North American continent? Was the
American Revolution really a revolution, or did it more closely
resemble a British Civil War? History 230 takes the student on an
exhilarating journey through early America from 1492 to 1877,
stopping along the way to examine how and why our country became a
world leader in less than a century after its inception. Students
will ponder situations such as whether Manifest Destiny was
designed to serve the common American, or it was conveniently used
to enhance the ambitions of politicians; whether or not Lincolns
Emancipation Proclamation intended to free the slaves or simply
provoke the Confederacy into rethinking their reasons for fighting
the Civil War. This course provides a splendid learning experience
for all students.

3 Semester Hours
History 231 undertakes the continuing saga of adventures in

the acts and deeds of some of our greatest modern heroes and will
discuss, for instance, whether or not Reconstruction ended in
1877, or if it is still incomplete; if Teddy Roosevelt should have
applied the Big Stick in digging the Big Ditch, or just how much
of a deal was the New Deal? This course takes students through the
exciting events of the world wars and the Cold War and lets them
decide (after thorough study) who should have won the various
presidential elections of this period. By the semesters end,
students will have a much better perception of why our society is
the way it is today.
