HIS 202 U.S. History II (1877-Present)
The United States of America ended Reconstruction at the same time that it moved onto the world stage as an economic power. On a wave of industrial expansion, the country grew and evolved through periods of wealth, social crises, depression, war, and cultural divisions. This course will explore the story of the United States’ rise to influence at the end of the nineteenth century, through the turmoil and successes of the twentieth century, and into the uncertain future of the twenty-first century. The course will evaluate the events and ideas of the century from a Christian perspective. (3 credits)
