Description This course introduces students to the political, economic, and social processes that shaped early North America prior to the era of revolutions. Students will examine European colonizers and those they colonized, how they interacted and influenced each other, and how geography, demography, and disease shaped their lives, creating a “new world” for all. Students in this course will consider how power was shaped by ecology, technology, gender, and race and how the struggle for power resulted in conflicts among different groups of European colonists, Native people and colonists, and between colonists and various European crowns.
