Course Description:During the first half of the 19th century, Americans wrestled with new definitions of what constituted democracy and justice. The nation expanded voting rights for white men while removing Native peoples from their homelands, celebrated "freedom" while maintaining slavery, and saw ordinary citizens organize for reform—from abolition and women's rights to labor and education. It was a period of great contradictions. Join us as we explore these contradictions and such questions as: Who counted as part of "the people?" What did justice mean in an unequal society? And how do these struggles still echo in our democracy today? |
