(HIST 119) This course explores the causes, course, and consequences of the American Civil War, from the 1840s to 1877. The primary goal of the course is to understand the multiple meanings of a transforming event in American history. Those meanings may be defined in many ways: national, sectional, racial, constitutional, individual, social, intellectual, or moral. Four broad themes are closely examined: the crisis of union and disunion in an expanding republic; slavery, race, and emancipation as national problem, personal experience, and social process; the experience of modern, total war for individuals and society; and the political and social challenges of Reconstruction.
This course was recorded in Spring 2008.

If you love history, this is the podcast for you! Stories of forgotten history, presented by Josh Geiger with Lance Geiger, The History Guy, from the hit YouTube channel The History Guy: History Deserves to be Remembered. Visit the channel here: www.youtube.com/TheHistoryGuyChannel We believe that history does not have to be boring. At its heart, history is storytelling, and we believe that it should be told with passion and genuine love for the material. History might be tragic, it might be comic, but it is the story of who we are, and we should not be afraid to enjoy that story and be moved by it.
In 1887, it was an isolated stretch of marshland on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay. By 1958, it was the biggest steel mill in the world. It went bankrupt in 2001. And by 2015, it was a pile of demolished rubble. Sparrows Point is a story of capitalism, labor unions, race, gender, civil rights, pride, and hubris. It’s the story of American steel.
What does it look like when fascism turns your country upside down?
How do you fight bigotry and hatred when hopelessness and apathy have set in?
How does individual action make a difference in the quest for equality and freedom?
And what is so important about the post office?
These are not questions about modern day America, these are questions we investigate about 1940s Hungary.

Mystery or History is a non-fiction podcast that boldly explores the question marks of history. So much of our past consists of unsolved mysteries. Though scholars and experts may speculate, few endeavor or succeed in getting to the truth. We seek to do just that and examine the fact and fiction behind some of history’s most interesting legends, myths, folklore, and conspiracies. By the end of each episode, we want our audience to answer the question: is it a mystery or is it history? Featuring expert historical opinions, exciting new pieces of evidence, and fascinating perspectives and commentary…this series seeks to unravel the past and provide real insight into the mysteries that shaped our reality. Featuring two dynamic co-hosts from uniquely different backgrounds as well as alternating guests, each episode is a near hour of non-stop storytelling perfect for casual listeners and hardcore historians alike.
