Credit(s): 4
Lecture: 4
Non-Lecture: 0

This course is designed to give you experience in the craft of historical research and writing. We will read and discuss recent works on the history of Early America. Our focus will be on the early modern Atlantic World, not just the thirteen colonies of British North America, and so we will examine the perspectives of various peoples, including Africans, the indigenous, Europeans, colonized, colonists, and those in between. These historiographical discussions will set the stage for you to pursue an original research project. The assigned secondary source literature as well as your research into other secondary sources and relevant primary sources on your selected topics will result in a significant final project that includes a discussion of relevant literature on the topic.
