HTY 354 - From Jefferson to Jackson


This course explores the complex dynamics that shaped American society and culture from the eighteenth through the mid-nineteenth centuries. It uses the conflicting sociopolitical, ideological, and economic views of Hamilton and Jefferson to investigate the development of party politics, the spread of slavery, religious revivals, the market revolution, westward expansion, and Indian removal. Thorough coverage is given to U.S.-Native American relations and President Jackson’s Indian policies. The semester concludes by investigating the growing sectionalism between North and South that will eventually culminate in the Civil War.
