Description:	This course explores the African origins, the forced removal of Africans to the Americas, the development of slavery, and the resistance to that institution. We will also explore the free black communities that Black Americans developed. Finally, we will examine the role of Black Americans in the Civil War. (Distribution Reqs:Humanities)
Learning Goals:	This course will assist students in achieving two major goals: 1) to develop a general chronological overview of the history of Black Americans, dating from 1500 to 1865; and, 2) to develop an analysis of the historical context of contemporary problems and phenomena, and an appreciation for comparative and interdisciplinary approaches to issues in the Black American experience. *The learning goals displayed here are those for one section of this course as offered in a recent semester, and are provided for the purpose of information only. The exact learning goals for each course section in a specific semester will be stated on the syllabus distributed at the start of the semester, and may differ in wording and emphasis from those shown here.
