Class Time: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 9:30-10:20AM

Description of the Course: New England has had a very distinctive history, from the Purtians to the battles of Lexington and Concord to the factories of Lowell, from Yankees in the Civil War to Red Sox fans in the 20th century, from farming and lumbering to tourism and high tech industries. How has New England changed over time, and what has that meant for its image as a city on a hill, a beacon to the world, a symbol of what is good and right in America? This course will examine both the history of the region and the history of this image. You will leave this course with a better understanding of these six slightly weird states and the people who have lived here.
