United States History 117
Dr. Eric Mayer, Victor Valley College
Course notes on US history from 1500 to 1870. The course notes focus on the “encounter” of Europeans to the New World. Native American society and culture is examined in the face of European colonialism and what can only be decribed as the greatest land theft in human history: The taking of North America for European settlement and profit. The course then proceeds to analyze settlement patterns and colonial economies. The struggle for independence and the beginnings of nation building as well as settlers moving west and taking Native American lands. By the 1800’s the US was transformed into a free-market economy which facilitated even more growth, settlement and development. The status of African Americans and women will also be analyzed as will the persecution of other ethnic and religious minorities such as Germans and Mormons. The growing sectional split between North and South will be examined as will the outbreak and course of the Civil War.
