HIS 269 Civil War & Reconstruction (3 CR)
Examines the American Civil War, including the causes of secession, the four long years of bloody conflict, and the bitter aftermath of Reconstruction.

As this is an online course, students learn from reading the assigned books and from the course website.  The website includes lecture summaries, documents, essays, and study guides to assist students with each homework assignment and test.  There are optional on-campus Saturday review sessions before each test.  Students are required to complete homework assignments, participate in virtual class discussions via Blackboard, and take tests on campus or at another proctored setting.

Students enrolling in the course should read the FAQs and complete the course survey (see Instructor Course Link).
