Document Summary

Prof. andrew burstein (aburstein@lsu. edu) office hours: th 2:00-3:00. The u. s. survey is a general treatment of america"s history, but that does not make this an ordinary course. A little effort from you will generate intellectual excitement that"s a good thing. In brief, we consider key political and cultural developments of the 17th, The greater purpose of this course is to help you to acquire an imaginative understanding of forces and events that gave life to the american nation and shaped modern values. It speaks to who we are as a people today. There is another way to say this: although the course qualifies as a survey, it is not concerned with the memorization of stark facts. It is premised instead on the value of understanding the moral struggles of past generations, collective anxieties, common purposes, and the life of the mind. All semester, we aim to know why as much as what.
