Class Schedule February 11th — 15th

Week Overview
Monday we'll begin by reviewing Jefferson's "Peaceful Coercion" and the causes of the War of 1812. Once I'm certain there aren't any questions, then we'll discussed the important developments associated with this very "peculiar" war. On Friday, we ended class in about the middle of the section entitled, "War and Expansion" and we were about to begin the subsection, "The Indian Problem." After this section (War and Expansion), there is one more section to cover in this chapter. I see us finishing this chapter by Wednesday, if not Tuesday.

On Thursday I will not be in class, and will assign you a in-class essay to complete. Good luck.
