303 America, 1763-1783: The Revolutionary Heritage (3)
The American Revolution created American history by creating a new nation.
What the American Revolution was depends to a large extent upon what Americans
think they are or ought to be. The goals of this course, therefore, are
twofold: (1) to probe the nature, causes and consequences of the American
Revolution; (2) to assess the intentions and behavior of both the Framers in
1763-1783 and of the inheritors of modern America. Also offered as History
503. Semester offered: On demand
