HISTORY 111:

"History of the United States to 1865"

Handouts



[These handouts are materials which supplement your assigned readings. Most of them summarize, in outline form, major points and developments pertaining to specific topics. A few are primary documents.

The List of Computer Files lists these, along with the point in the class by which you should have read each. Consult that list in order to know when you should be looking at which of these.

A note of warning: these handouts have not been formatted for the web. They are simply word processor documents converted to HTML. All the information is here, but the formats and spacings are often not as in the original documents. I recommend going to the server and getting better copies there if you can.
