The American Civil War Era

History 49 will meet according to the weekly schedules on the attached pages. So that you can get the most out of the lectures and class exercises you are expected to do the assigned reading for each day before class meets. As with all courses at Furman you should plan on spending at least two hours to three hours a day outside of our meetings on the readings and assignments for this class.

All electronic documents and on-line discussions can be reached by clicking the links on this web page. Be aware that the last minute rush to get reserve readings can be severe. To save time and help your peers please make copies and return the readings to the reserve desk as quickly as possible. To avoid copyright problems you must bring these copies of the readings to class for use in face-to-face discussion. You will need to participate in the in-class book discussions to receive appropriate recognition in your class participation grade.
