HIST 473 - Colloquium: Violence and Terror in Early America
FCSSCIWADV4 credits This seminar explores the myriad functions of violence and terror in the development of American society from the early colonial period through the mid-19th century. We will interrogate both the definition of these terms as well as the inter-national, inter-cultural, and inter-personal contexts in which early Americans experienced them. Prominent themes include Euro-American-American Indian warfare, imperial contestation, piracy and maritime violence, slavery and servitude, and sexual violence.
