For reference only; see current year course listing for course availability and details.Ironies and Tragedies of the US Civil War
Sections and Teachers
Section 1: Instructor: Paul Christiansen

Ends: August 14, 2009
Friday 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM ET
Tuition: $120.00
This course provides a fresh look at a familiar story. After a quick survey of the US Civil War, we'll explore many of the large issues of the conflict -- slavery, battles, and outcomes, for example -- in new ways. Why did the North win? Why didn't it win much earlier? How did life change for the freed slaves? And how did people view the war in the years following?
This course is not intended to give a complete picture of the Civil War. Students seeking that are advised to enroll in US History. This course is designed for more experienced students of history, but anyone intrigued by seeing the familiar in a new light will fit right in. Prerequisites
(US History recommended)
Recommended background
A rudimentary understanding of American History will be essential -- an understanding of where the Civil War took place in relation to other periods of our history, for instance. Considerable background will be provided but the course does not give a blow-by-blow account of the war.
Textbooks and Materials
