- Scope
-
These courses treat the history of the United States (in an international context) from the nation's colonial origins to the present. Both surveys explore the American experience by investigating such diverse topics as economic, political, and social evolution, foreign relations developments, the rise of sectionalism, cultural and intellectual growth, group interactions, and the relation between war and society. The courses also introduce methods of historical research and analysis, and seek to develop the cadet's facility for critical thinking and lucid writing, and for participating effectively in oral discussion.
