The theme of this course is the making of modern America. During the course we will trace the historical development of our modern national institutions and social and economic structures. In the late nineteenth century, enormous economic and social changes resulting from industrialization and urbanization led to massive upheaval in American society. Pre-industrial politics and ideology were inadequate to handle the new world created by industrial capitalism. Further, United States expansion onto the world stage presented unique problems. This course will tell the story of the process in the making of modern America, with the goal of understanding how economic, social, political, and ideological components of culture interact to spark social change.
