HIST 231 African-American History to 1865

A survey of the history of African-Americans from their arrival in the English colonies to the end of the Civil War. African-Americans' struggle with slavery and oppression provide the central theme, but the course addresses the various political, economic, social, and cultural conditions which contributed to the development of a unique African-American community. Particular attention is given to the development of such institutions within this community as family, religion, and education.
