HIS 323 Revolutionary Black Atlantic

This course explores the tumultuous period of 1776-1830, when revolutions swept across the Atlantic World, reshaping societies and challenging colonial systems of race, slavery, and power. Focusing on North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean, students will examine the interconnected struggles for emancipation, the formation of new national identities and definitions of citizenship, and the rebellions and resistance movements led by enslaved and free Black people of African descent to seize liberty and achieve equality.
