Below are course descriptions for open sections of HI 214 Topics in U.S. History: The Abolition of Slavery and HI 235 History of the United States.

HI 214 Topics in U.S. History: The Abolition of Slavery: The movement to abolish slavery entailed not only the destruction of the United States' wide-reaching system of captive labor, but also offered the country's first visions of an inclusive, interracial democracy. Spearheaded by Black women and men, enslaved and free, along with their white allies, abolitionists created the blueprint for later liberation movements like women's rights, workers' rights, and especially the twentieth century struggles for civil rights. This course reflects on the abolitionist movement not only in its time period (the 19th century), but as the foundational fight for freedom and equality that continues through today. HI 214 is capped at 30 students.

HI 235 History of the United States: Studies the history of the United States from its colonial beginnings to the present, focusing on the Civil War and its consequences. HI 235 is capped at 30 students.

For the Fall 2021 term Emerson College is planning to return to in-person teaching, and the above courses each meet twice a week for 1 hour and 45 minutes. HI 214 Topics in U.S. History: The Abolition of Slavery is scheduled for Tuesday/Thursday from 2:00-3:45pm. HI 235 History of the United States is scheduled for Tuesday/Thursday from Noon-1:45pm.
