History of the United States from its founding to 1850. This course concerns the American revolution (with a lower case r), beginning with the original colonial revolution through a series of revolutionary changes to the fledgling nation-a market revolution, revolutionary political changes, the Second Great Awakening, reform movements, the expansion of the national boundaries, and a war with Mexico.
