U.S. History & American Studies II (1826-1928)
This course considers in detail America during the Pre-Civil War, Civil War, and Reconstruction periods, and concludes with an examination of the period of industrialization that under-pinned American greatness in the twentieth century. U.S. History II complements the history by examining a key text: Alexis de Tocqueville’s Democracy in America, first published in 1835, a brilliant study of our national government and character. De Tocqueville’s observations about the need for virtue in elected officials are particularly prophetic.
