font-family:Verdana">This course will not be offered at the graduate level in
the next two years, so this is a great opportunity to explore recent
scholarship about the American Civil War and its aftermath. In it, we will
focus on the socio-political, cultural, and military history of both the North
and South during this very significant and defining moment in U. S. history. In
keeping with the History M. A. program as a whole, we will emphasize historiographical
questions: <span style="color:black">How have different scholars approached and
written about this topic? What sources and methods have they used? What are
major points of consensus or disagreement (if any) on this topic? What is the
“state of the question”? How have views of the issue changed over time? Have
teaching texts kept up with the latest scholarship? This is an excellent course
for those hoping to pursue a career in teaching or further graduate studies in
U. S. History. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
