HI105, History of the United States, addresses the social, political, economic, foreign relations, and sectional of the nation from its colonial roots through the end of the 20th century. The course consists of three blocks of instruction, each followed by a major examination. Although this course is complete in itself, it complements HI108, Regional Studies in World History, by providing cadets an understanding of their own culture as a basis for studying foreign cultures. The course also develops methods of historical research and analysis, critical thinking, lucid writing, and effective participation in classroom discussion.
