HIST 371 - The Rise of Modern America, 1865-1945 Credit Hours: 4 As the United States enters into a post-industrial age, it is worth revisiting the issues and problems associated with the nation’s evolution into a post-agrarian society during the late 19th century.

Through a selection of books and primary sources, the following topics will be explored: industrialization, the labor movement, the Populist movement, women’s suffrage and the birth of modern feminism, the rise of segregation, American imperialism, progressivism, World War I, the Great Depression and the New Deal and World War II.
