This course offers a multifaceted examination of the American West, exploring its complex history through the lens of conquest, conflict, and cultural encounter. Through a series of thematic units, students will critically analyze key events and historical phenomena that shaped the region, with a particular focus on the interplay between various perspectives. The course begins with an exploration of Manifest Destiny and its implications for indigenous peoples, focusing on the Trail of Tears as a case study of forced relocation and displacement. Students will examine the motivations behind westward expansion and the consequences of Manifest Destiny on Native American communities, including the Trail of Tears, the Battle of Little Bighorn, and the Wounded Knee Massacre. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the diverse experiences of Native American tribes and the lasting impact of colonization on their cultures and societies. Subsequent units delve into the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of westward expansion during the 19th century. Students will investigate the California Gold Rush as a catalyst for migration and settlement, analyzing the creation of boomtowns, environmental degradation, and the exploitation of labor, including the discrimination faced by Chinese immigrants. The course will also explore the interconnectedness of these events with broader themes such as industrialization, urbanization, and the rise of capitalism in the American West. Throughout the course, students will engage with primary sources, scholarly articles, and diverse perspectives to critically evaluate historical narratives and challenge conventional interpretations of the American West. By examining the region from multiple viewpoints, students will gain a deeper understanding of its complex and contested history, enabling them to critically evaluate contemporary issues and debates surrounding the legacy of westward expansion in the United States. 🎉 Unlock the Past: Save $10 on History Classes! 🏛️ Ready to dive into the rich tapestry of history?
