HIS 340 The American Revolution

The study of the Revolution as a political, social and military struggle. Examines the relationship of the colonies to the British Empire, the legacy of England's own revolutionary struggles, and the events and arguments that led from resistance to rebellion-in particular their impact on those traditionally excluded from political action and identity. Also looks at constitution-making, the development of a national government, the emergence of a national culture and ways the Revolution has been perceived by later generations.
