HST 345 - War and Society in America 1500-1865

three credits
War has been an almost omnipresent factor in the American experience.  This course examines the formative centuries of American war-making, with special emphasis on the effects of war on American societies, and vice-versa.  Course topics include European and Native American approaches to warfare, the influence of technology on tactical development, and the question of a distinctly “American way” of war-making.
