HIST 300KK: America’s Small Wars

Week 1 (August 29/31/September 2): Introductions, SI/WI requirements; Quasi War

Monday/Wednesday: Introduction/requirements/format

TIPS for discussions:

(1) Avoid using “media” when you need to be precise about what you are referring to in particular time periods.

(2) Avoid using “the government” when you need to be precise about local v. state v. national.

(3) Avoid using “interesting” without clarifying what is “interesting ” in terms of the course.

(4) Be precise about time: “later” and “eventually”—for example—are not useful.

(4) Pay attention to references to historiography.

Note: the first three “wars” covered by the course occurred within about twenty years—and in some ways overlapped; thus, points made in the readings (and films) about one relate to—and should be factored into discussions—about others.
