TRANSFORMATIONS DURING THE COLONIAL EXPERIENCE IN AMERICA 1607-1776 (HIS-243364)

Center for Distance Learning Home > Distance Learning Catalog > Historical Studies >

Course Description:


Colonial America calls up images of determined Pilgrims and dour Puritans, the Salem Witchcraft Trials as well as the First Thanksgiving. Those images reflect a new and distinctly American civilization that Europeans, Africans and Native Americans were constructing from the time of the first European settlements to the American Revolution. This course examines the birth and maturation of the American civilization that developed out of political, economic, social, cultural, environmental, religious as well as human factors. It explores the values and institutions that colonial Americans created that are the hallmark of modern American civilization, and evaluates how men and women experienced their lives in Colonial America.
