In the century following the Civil War the United States underwent a profound transformation. A largely agricultural country on the periphery of world politics in 1865, it became the globe's dominant industrial power and chief political actor in the years after World War II. This course will examine the causes of that transformation, as well as its consequences for race, class, and gender relations.
