Additional Details
This course examines the political, intellectual, diplomatic, social, and religious themes in the history of the United States from colonial times up to and including the Civil War. Students will bring biblical values and a Christian worldview to bear upon elections, wars, public policy, economic growth, and international relations.
This is an introductory survey course with no prerequisites. Students are expected to possess a high school knowledge of American history. However, like Patrick Henry College’s other freshman-level courses, this course is equivalent (in terms of rigor, content, and expectations) to sophomore courses at typical colleges.
