While African Americans have always been a minority within the overall population of the United States, African American history is central to US history as a whole. For a nation founded on Enlightenment values of liberty and equality, the existence of an enslaved and oppressed population within the national territory has represented a central contradiction around which US politics has often revolved. From the time of the British North American colonies up to the present day, struggles for Black people’s freedom have in many ways defined US political institutions and structures.
In this course, we will analyze the relationship between African American history and US political history, in order to understand how issues such as slavery, emancipation, and civil rights have shaped US politics and institutions. Beginning in the colonial era, we will examine how developments in African American history map onto revolutions in US political party systems, the constitution, and state structures. We will understand how the three branches of the US government (legislative, executive, and judicial) have all played varying roles at this history in varying times. We will also examine how federalism has played a crucial role in African American history, and vice versa.
