HIST 5340 - Slavery in North America


Three credit hours.

This class investigates the history of slavery and forced labor in America before 1860. This course looks at slavery in the Colonial period, the Revolutionary era, and the 1800s throughout the North American continent. Topics include Native American slavery, the transatlantic slave trade, the development of African cultures in America, and the anti-slavery movement. We will try to understand the diversity of slavery and slave cultures in North America’s different regions as we assess the central role slavery played in the creation of American society. Students with credit for 4340 may not take 5340 for additional credit.
