A survey of modern America, covering significant events and developments in U.S. history, 1877-the present. We will examine these developments through varied historical sources—written, visual, and auditory. Given the breadth of this course, which includes economic, social, cultural, diplomatic, and political perspectives, we will focus on a few key themes: industrialization and development; migrations and incorporation; progressive policy trajectory and conservative resurgence; and emergence and maintenance of the U.S. as a global power.
