Students will explore themes of American identity, democracy, race and citizenship, expansion, globalization, and the changing status of women and Africans, both free and enslaved, who fought for their place in the new nation. Students will unpack the complex origins of the United States in which, in the words of Thomas Paine’s 1776 pamphlet Common Sense, Americans had it “in our power to begin the world over again.”
