The Civil War and Reconstruction Era, 1845-1877

(Complete Item Description)

Abstract:: This course explores the causes, course, and consequences of the American Civil War, from the 1840s to 1877. The primary goal of the course is to understand the multiple meanings of a transforming event in American history. Those meanings may be defined in many ways: national, sectional, racial, constitutional, individual, social, intellectual, or moral. Four broad themes are closely examined: the crisis of union and disunion in an expanding republic; slavery, race, and emancipation as national problem, personal experience, and social process; the experience of modern, total war for individuals and society; and the political and social challenges of Reconstruction.

Underground Railroad

(Complete Item Description)

Abstract:: Black slaves fleeing their imprisonment in the South often sought the help of sympathetic Northerners while on their way to Canada. In this 18th century house in Reading, Pennsylvania some escaped slaves may have found refuge. The Parvin House might have been part of the Underground Railroad. Under the house is a network of tunnels filled with broken pottery and other 19th century artifacts. The tunnels that once protected refugees are now threatened by highway construction, but a team of archeology students is trying to determine whether or not these tunnels really are part of the Underground Railroad before the county government destroys them forever.
