This course focuses on the role of New England in the transformation of the U.S. from an erstwhile colony to a dominant world power. We will look at regional trade and technology that were instrumental in this transformation--opium, ivory, slaves, and guns--as well as the intellectual arguments that effected this change. Preference to American Studies juniors and seniors; non-majors in order of seniority.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form to the Registrar's Office.
