Civil War and Reconstruction This course explores the era of the
American Civil War with an emphasis on the period 1861-1865. It
combines lectures, readings, class discussion, and film to
address such questions as why the war came, why the Confederacy
lost, and how the war affected various elements of society. We
will also explore what was left unresolved at the end of the
war, how Americans responded to Reconstruction, and how
subsequent generations have understood the meaning of the
conflict and its legacy. We will make a special effort to tie
military and political events to life on the home front.
