HIS 1510G - Roots of the Modern World: Slavery and Freedom.


(3-0-3) Between 1520 and 1870 some 11 million Africans were transported to the Americas, largely on European ships, largely to serve as slaves. What is slavery? How did this horrible “human traffic” occur? What role did Europeans, Africans, and Americans play in this trade? This course will investigate these issues and look at the historical practices of slavery from across the globe. HIS 1510G is a general education course open to all EIU students. The electronically delivered version of HIS 1510G was created to satisfy the general education requirement in Humanities and Fine Arts for students enrolled in on-line delivery only. Students enrolled at EIU’s Charleston campus may not take the electronically-delivered version of this course. WI
