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.
This course is taught by: Professor Beth Salerno
