Although we want these web lecture notes to be an improvement on other study guides (and we do believe they are), they must remain nothing more than study guides. America has been split apart by three major wars: in the 1770's the American Revolution; in the 1970's the Vietnam War; and, in the middle of this period, the Civil War. Each war has dramatically changed the generation engaged in battles as well as the generations that followed. Lecture #01 will examine the repercussions of the Civil War, its effects on the American people, and the agreements and disagreements within the nation over the meanings of "Reconstruction." By the late 1860s, some Southerners were already calling for a more diversified economy cotton was no longer "king." Increasingly there was a move from farm to factory, and many people encouraged industrialization in the South and an increased capital investment in the Southern economy from outside sources. This lecture explores the economic transformation and the racial politics of the "New" South after the Civil War.

Extractions: San Jose Mercury News - November 9, 2003 Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, George Washington's Mount Vernon, San Francisco's City Hall these are among the scores of magnificent old structures in the United States that are easy to love and preserve as monuments to our history. But what about three scruffy old buildings in Stockton the Mariposa Hotel, Emerald Restaurant and Rizal Social Club? These three structures, located in a poor multiethnic neighborhood, are all that remains of Stockton's ``Little Manila'' community, which was founded in the early 1900s and provided a gateway into America for thousands of Filipinos, many of whom worked in the fertile fields not far away. In what became the largest Filipino community outside the Philippines, the immigrants created a vibrant district of restaurants, dance halls and street life and named it after the most important city of their homeland. Now, two people of Filipino heritage are fighting over the fate of Little Manila's last buildings. One, Dawn Mabalon, is a Stockton native and Stanford doctoral student in history who believes the structures should be restored as a museum, and as a way to help save a culture. The other, Manuel Fernandez, is an architect and developer based in Oakland who wants to tear down the buildings and build a shopping mall with an Asian theme, a magnet that could help a troubled neighborhood.
