Material Detail

This free and open online course in History was produced by the WA State Board for Community & Technical Colleges [http://sbctc.edu/].

Welcome to History 147, the second in the introductory surveys of U.S. history. We begin in that decade when the United States in three years (1845-48) grew by 50 percent. Through the Civil War to the 20th century, we explore how different people experienced the transformation of the country into an industrial nation and emerging world power. Those who would like to pursue their study of American history will want to take Hist 146 (US History I) and Hist 148 (US History III).
