Document Summary
Main themes in the course: racial and ethical diversity, the uncertain rise of democracy, power. Racial and ethical diversity summary: columbus comes from europe and thinks he is in india. He comes across many indigenous societies in the new world. This, along with other explorers (french, spanish, english, dutch, etc. ), sparks a lot of diversity throughout the americas: the end of the 1840s marked the start of asian migrants coming over, and people started referring to people by skin color, instead of just age and gender. The uncertain rise of democracy summary: american history is the rise of democracy. It was not an easy process when implementing democratic ways, as the founding fathers did not want one. It was thought that a democracy would be a mob rule society, so they founded a republic. It really was only a democracy for rich white men.
