History 151 - U.S. History since 1876

This course introduces students to key themes in United States history from the late nineteenth century to the early twenty-first century. In particular, we will examine how war, migration, and struggles over race, gender, and industrial capitalism shaped modern American politics and society. We will also explore the United States' emergence as a global superpower and the implications of this development for world history. (Gen. Ed. HS)
